There are many to be seen at local shows, in museums and showrooms, hill-climbs, on rallies and other venues which are not on the Register.
As the registration numbers of (most) extant Sevens are already in the public domain (via a quick search on the DVLA website for example) can an owner of such an 'unknown' Seven have a valid case against the Registrar and demand its removal? Just wondering, that's all...
I send in details if people advertise things for sale publicly with such details publicly viewable, or noted. i.e. when things come up on Facebook for sale. It may the only chance to get things recognised for posterity before another 50 or 60 year ownership! I'd be interested to know too whether the Registrar is obliged to remove such things by a present owner's request. I'm presuming probably not. But would be interesting to know.
Shows and the like which are admission-related aren't really public as such, and things that would demand a bit of overt observation - I'd have said that was NOT ok... too invasive.
