Electric Seven

[Tony Griffiths]

Discovered in a hitherto secret factory publicity file, this prototype electric-fan powered Chummy was inspired by the remarkable French Leyat. Sadly, its hill-climbing ability failed to match the storming performance of the standard car although the claimed range, at 7 miles, was judged entirely adequate. As the Leyat had rear-wheel steering, the designers concluded that as the Seven was already so equipped, there was no need for any further modifications to the chassis.
