Further to my recent post about a Seven 'selling' for 10/- (or 1 Dm) on Guernsey in 1942, see also some photos of a Seven 'converted' to use as a tractor on the island during the war. Most of us are familiar with bigger Austins being used for agricultural work, and indeed I once had a Seven-engined 'tractor' based on a 1922 Rover 8 chassis modified to a very narrow track of about 3', which was designed to pull a trailer through the Kentish hopfields (a prototype Austin-Rover?). Do we know of many other Seven 'tractors', I am sure there are still a few 'variants' out there?
