    Does anyone here still any original, or even old, dealer stickers on the windows of their cars?

    I've this sticker on my Mk3. It's not an official dealer, but it's probably been on the car since 1985, as that's when the previous owner bought it:

    I Googled the company, and it doesn't appear exsist any more!

    Hmmm, seems to me that sticker is from a Taxi or an anti money laundering force.

    my MK3 does not have any stickers on it but god only knows how many times the roof has been changed. I just changed the roof my self recently. Though mine was a UK car back in the day.

    Not a sticker, but a mudflap from a 92 corolla estate. Can't get these anymore! :)
    They were the first owners on the log book too. Unfortunately the window sticker was replaced by a Western Windsceens at some stage.

    Is 1961 not a bit new for an Austin 7?

    The Austin Seven is an Mk1 Mini.

    When the mini was introduced in 1959, it was marketed as the Austin Seven (note "Seven" as opposed the old mid twenties "7"!) and the Morris Mini-Minor

    Funny thing about it is the phone number isnt too far away from my grannys when she lived over in Surrey! The old man got a laugh out of that!

    There was a silver Senator at the Terenure show last summer that had a Huet Motors sticker on it. That wouldn't have been the car the screen came out of by any chance?

    That's good to hear.:)

    I'm relieved, as besides a few rust spots, it seemed quite a tidy car and I'm sure is probably the last surviving example in Ireland.
