I've just come across this little video of the Chiltern Hills Trial, probably from the mid-1950s; several cars look to be Austin Seven based, notably FVW 638, GRU 7 and NPE 797. Anyone recognise any of them?

What a cracking little film, plenty of Dellows and other Ford based specials, together with a good turn out of MGs as you would expect.
