I have covered many 10s of thousands of miles in Austin Sevens since 1964. In that time I have only had one crank failure. It was in My Nippy when it was running in. It happened at about 30mph in top on a light throttle in Highbridge, Somerset. It broke across the rear web, nowhere near a journal.
Maybe it's because I always drive with 'enthusiasm'.
It's the only time I've had to be recovered in a Seven. My wife towed me home in the Saab 99 - an amazingly robust car.
