My Dad called his car Betsy - it was a 1930's Austin 7. Reg no RX 7268. He bought it around the time he married my Mum (1940) and he still had it in the 1960s. Wanting something bigger (a Ford 8 DBO ***) he wanted to sell the Austin. It was parked at the bottom of our street, with a sign on the running board "For Sale £17 10s". I begged him to let me buy it as I had about £20 in my Post Office Savings account but he wouldn't let me. I don't think I had any idea that there was more to having a car that putting the occasional drop of petrol in it! Really wish I had it now - worth a lot more than £17.50.
