Where Are All the Sevens?

[Colin Morgan]

There are about 33 million cars in the UK that do an average of 7400 miles per year, which is a total of 240 billion miles. From the DVLA data, there are about 1600 pre-war Sevens registered for the road, perhaps doing an average of about 500 miles per year. This is 800,000 miles. So for every road-mile a Seven does, modern cars do 300,000 miles - so no wonder we don't see them very often.
