What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

     

A number of Seven owners went to spectate at Loton Park. It was very very wet indeed. Something like 14 Sevens were entered, not easy to see how many ascended the hill.  Some might not have survived yesterday. Being soaked, literally to the skin caused some of us to abandon watching about three o'clock. Whether the meeting was officially abandoned, or whether competitors had just stopped going to the start line but were loading their cars,  it seems that it just came to a stop by four. No Austins climbed the hill with hoods up, but certain Alvis and Riley owners decided that any minor increase in wind resistance mattered less than keeping marginally less wet and so canvas was worn.
