This Brilliant little baby car was first  designed and built by Sir

Herbert Austin  in 1922. It was probably a huge surprise that it proved so popular, but It would seem that the timing for this

economical little jewel was perfect for  England and  the rest of Europe.

Early attempts to sell the car In the USA proved to be a little more difficult,  in 1927 an attempt was made to introduce  this British success.  It was  not until 1929 that  any headway was made and at this time The American Austin Car Company  was formed.

Having  a  proven British success on their hands did not prove to be a guarantee of  winning over the market,  Americans in general thought this was a funny little car that could be carried away by four men, It was a joke and Austin sevens ended up in peculiar places. An embarrassing experience was almost  certain for any owner that attempted to  use one in the city,  The little Austin was totally unsuitable for US country or interstate motoring so A huge proble

confronted the Newly formed, American Austin Car Company.
