- The Austin Seven is one of the most universally appealing small cars of all
time.
- It was manufactured in a variety of forms, from simple open tourers to saloons,
vans, sports cars and even racers, and left an indelible mark on the course of
motoring history.
- Production ceased in 1939 after 17 years, during which time some 291,000 chassis
had been made.
- Originally published in 1989, and re-issued due to popular demand, this is the
most complete work of reference ever published on the model and is essential
reading for all Austin Seven owners, restorers and enthusiasts.

sports cars in the best tradition.
