As so often happens, people's opinions of a particular car are coloured by poorly-maintained examples. In this case clearly the Seven is superior to most other cars, since it continued to give good service regardless of the lack of maintenance. It reminds me of Derek Fearnley's account of his Ruby, bought to provide daily transport whilst his Frazer Nash received a much-needed overhaul. Once the 'Nash was back on the road, Derek decided the Seven had given such good service that he would treat it to a thorough service. If I recall correctly, he found sixteen faults, any one of which would have brought the 'Nash to a standstill, but the Seven had kept going regardless.
