Default 1930s Austin 7 Racing cars. Like a sprint car but smaller.

Back in October I was at The Gaydon Gathering. The featured cars from the collection were a couple of fascinating Austin 7 Racing cars from the 1930s. The build quality of these cars is something very special. So join me for a quick trip back to last Autumn and a walkabout with the classic cars and the sight and sounds from the lovely little Austin 7 Racers. I hope you enjoy it.

One's a flathead but a bit different from the ones we are used to!

Thanks Mart !! Always been a fan of XK 150s & I remember way back when one could be purchased without braking the bank. Next to our GR8 flatheads, the sound of a Jag 6 Cyl. is awesome. Some wonderful stuff there. Thanks again ......Cheers !
