Thanks to Mike for posting what is an uncommon and little known model Seven, showing several features with are very different from the earlier Type Rs ( TopHats )
This is the only period photo I know of. Please advise if any others are known.
The model was only manufactured for a few months and shows many features which went into the design of the next saloon model, the RK.
The engineering involved in developing this late R would have been quite extensive and it seem strange this was carried out for such a short production run.
I am fortunate to own one of these models, albeit in oily rag condition, but with all the correct details, and with a full history from new.
