What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

Ian, entry no 1 was chassis no.793 from the Birmingham Transport Museum. Number 416 was a 1939 saloon, driven by Miss A. Butcher. Big Sevens were numbered 550 to 555. Perhaps surprisingly, only eight specials, 560 to 567, were expected to turn up. You were number 89, immediately followed by Andy Bird at 90, briefly  preceded by Ray Moses at 87, though Barbara Moses was separately entered . The entry list is an anorak's delight, what a range of entrants who are  still so active and knowledgeable. There is also an indication that a certain esteemed writer and very distinguished editor may have to resume his nick name of half a century ago.  Yes. ladies and gentlemen, at number 111 may I introduce Nelson Tebbett!
