From memory there is a decent club for it in the Naki? Could be wrong. They do trials events for them down here too (have done for years).

This is a shot of a buddy in his road legal Austin at a trails event.

Sheeze, I was the youngest there - probably by about 30 years on average. But an awesome weekend, and Struan's wee car is a fun wee thing. Don't think I'll be trading the bike anytime soon tho

Considering the Singer was built before penicillin was available, I assume then that period attire should include prophylactic's ?

Those pesky Austin 7's usually dominate Vintage Trials (they are amazing) and yes, the sport is quite strong in Nelson / Marlborough.
My Singer was restored in 1994 with really only the road in mind, especially as it's much rarer than the Seven's.

Good look....car and scenery that is. Attire - particularly headgear needs work.

Time for a tartan flat cap.

Back in the day - Royal Ulster Constabulary bike jump demo over a Singer Porlock.
Regretfully I can't find a pic of the landing.....

**unstuck** · 10th October 2013, 14:56

They must of used them to test jump all of their rides back then.

**NordieBoy** · 10th October 2013, 17:17

Much better result than if they were doing the jumping with the Singer...

Yeah you don't see many Singers around at all unless it's a sewing machine

.
I believe that Austin was his parents as well which is pretty cool.

Good luck with the car man and keep us updated with more sweet photos =D

I reckon a leather flight style hat and goggles would be the ticket in that thing.
