why an Austin seven

[John Mason]

Not Austin related but when I was 16 and 17 I used to help out with a group of chaps who raced Stock Cars. They all lived in and around Nottingham and every few weeks in the summer months we would go to Manchester to race. Our transport an old Bedford petrol engined lorry with trailer boiled on the Derbyshire hills. When travelling this way even now I can remember where all the ponds and brook’s are that we used to refill the radiator. I can also recall having to adjust the brakes for the return home.
