Since 1970 the Austin Seven Clubs’ Association Magazine has been produced each quarter (with one exception, when only 3 were produced over the course of a year). The Magazine is a firm favourite across the globe, providing articles of interest for its 3400+ readership alongside local club magazines.
Production of the Magazine is entirely reliant on copy sourced from those readers – we now need you to help us source new copy. The Editor’s cupboard is currently empty and so we are making an appeal, to you all, to send in something of interest. Articles do not need to be lengthy, but they must be Austin Seven related and we absolutely love high quality images, old or new.
Our esteemed Editor writes:
“In particular I’m interested in the following:-
• The discovery and return to the road of cars that have ‘lived a life’.
• Technical details and work carried out on a specific component during restoration.
• Preparation of competition cars and the driving experience obtained.
• The development of the Seven from an historical viewpoint.
• Information on forgotten sporting successes where the Seven excelled (or took part).
• Adventurous journeys in an Austin Seven.
