More about the Austin Seven 

The Austin 7, or Austin Seven) was manufactured in the UK from 1923 until 1939 by car maker, Austin. The Austin 7 was one of the most popular cars produced for the domestic British market and it also sold very well abroad. 

According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_7, “the effect of the Austin 7 on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the US, replacing most other British economy cars and cyclecars of the early 1920s.”

The Austin Seven design was also extensively licensed and copied by companies in international markets, indeed, the first BMW car was actually a licensed Austin 7. And, in Japan, Nissan also used the Austin 7 design as the basis for their first motor cars and this eventually led to a post war agreement between Nissan and Austin to build Austin Sevens in Japan using the Austin name.

After the Second World War many Austin Sevens were repurposed as ‘specials’; including the first McLaren and Lotus race cars

Indeed, the memory and reputation of the Austin Seven proved so popular that the company re-used the name ‘Seven’ for early versions of the all-conquering Mini.

Austin Sevens are popular and iconic classic cars and Performance Direct insures many Austin 7 owners across the UK, as part of collections but some still driven regularly. (Many of us will have followed Austin 7s, slowly, on motorways of their way to classic car shows!)
