The wonderful thing about the Austin 7 is the sheer variety of models to choose from. An early Chummy will give you a startling insight into marginal motoring in the 1920s; a Box saloon from the early 1930s something a little more civilised and a late-model Ruby a quite different experience. Underneath the body, as you probably know, the design - if not the details of the components used - remained unchanged. It might be best to start with a standard car from the following popular and easily obtained types. The Seven is so different from any small car made from the early 1950s onwards that they do take some getting used to. Drive one daily - for a couple of weeks - and the initial doubts might well wear off. Enjoy the difference!
