It is interesting to compare the chassis of an early '20s Bugatti with a Seven.  The Bugatti's use 1/4 elliptic rear springs is interesting - the fact that they were mounted the other way round - from the very back of the chassis extended beyond the rear axle led to exceptional handling.  Would the story of the Seven be different if Sir Herbert had adopted this layout, I wonder?
