Jeff Taylor Austin Sevens owned by members of the V.S.C.C. rarely appear on the A7CA Chassis Register.
Jeff.
....a bit unfair..... I would think most cars owned by VSCC members are also members of A7 Clubs and have their cars on the Register.....

I have checked the DVLA website and it's still about xxx
Hi there, just joined the site. OT4745 was owned by my Dad after the war for several years.
I have some pictures if anyone is interested.
I saw it at Eastleigh carnival in the seventies, told my Dad , and he got a bit in the Echo about it.
He always maintained it was a Singer, not an A7, so that may add to the confusion.
Nice to hear it's still on the road, as I told him I would buy it back 1 day for him.
He said it had been rebodied before he got it, he called it "The Flying Flea"
If any one knows where it is now I would love to know.
