Maybe a bit of both, Tony. I think modern drivers(and people) are a bit spoiled today. Before google, it was a trip to the library or the local expert for some institutional knowledge. The idea that two men, would design a car like the Seven in a matter of weeks, sometimes employing a billiard table, if the history is correct, would make modern designers cringe. But then, look at what they produced. Or someone like Harry Riccardo who did his research with intuition and a slide rule.

There is no question that my Toyota Tacoma is a fine piece of engineering. But, like every consumer durable, it will be relegated to toasters and beer cans, my Seven will still be on the road. Which one was engineered to last?

Sorry for the rant. Big Grin

Hi erich,
You never know what the future brings, especialy with cars.

15 years ago, I sore advertised a Sierra owners club. And thought to myself have you ever heard of something so  Stoopid. Hardly a sort after car then.

Now they are often more sort after than the austin 7.

Tony. Huh
