Austin sevens were great competition vehicles and Austin

supported many factory sponsored specials for many events.  The results were  great and would seem to be well out of proportion for a little car that in its basic form was comfortable at  not a lot more than 35 miles per hour. But the enthusiasm to race these little cars to the limit was  huge. Austin Sevens  were fun and affordable, 

With the host of  sporting victories and records  it was not hard  for owners to associate  with the sevens success and  little Austins were regularly seen hurtling along narrow and slippery country roads with reckless abandon with drivers at the wheel  with  hat and goggles in racing mode. At  speeds in excess of 30 miles an hour..

Country police  were mostly  limited to pedal power and there are many stories that can be heard by  Older folk . The time an Austin Seven  came hurtling out of the blue  when a Farmer was  moving his cattle or sheep from one location to another , when the road was covered in wet leaves and manure and the driver had lost

control as he saw the animals a bit late as the seven was coming around the corner at 'breakneck 'speeds,

Enthusiast  still race these  Austin Sevens cars today !
