 Shannons Insurance - For the motoring enthusiast -150
Despite its humble origins, the Austin Seven proved a mightily effective track car in the right hands and throughout the 1930s competed with MG for top honours in the 750cc class at circuits like Brooklands and Donington Park.
Driven by the likes of Charlie Dodson, Pat Driscoll, Kay Petre and Bert Hadley, these competition Austins were campaigned from 1936 until the war with great success in sprints, hillclimbs and circuit races and still exist, having spent many years on loan to the Donington Collection.
A beautifully constructed replica based on the successful twin-cam Jamieson Austins that competed so successfully at Brooklands, Shelsley Walsh and elsewhere before the war, this vehicle was originally built in the mid-1960s and last raced in 1981.
