Do you have your own Autocar collection, or like me are you whizzing through the far more easily and currently freely accessible archive, as revealed to us recently. I was very impressed by the coverage of launch of the Seven in July 22. Even amongst the ads for chauffeur's uniform and articles about driving ones Daimler through France, the Seven seem to be acknowledged as the start of something important.
And for any other anorak/researcher, July 15th 1927 has an illustrated piece about bodies by New Avon, of Warwick, Duple Bodies and by Arc Manufacturing of Hyde.
Unfortunately, I have only a few copies and most of those are ones with a Seven on the cover (I think that I might have the complete set). The complete set of Autocar covers can be bought in various forms from The Great British Car Journey (https://greatbritishcarjourney.com/produ...er-art/who have a deal with the magazine) where I helped a little with some of the clean-up work. The GE article was from Ruairidh's collection of GE material he posted in "Touring the North Coast". The Autocar Archive is now via a subscription of £40 for 13 copies of the magazine and access to the Archive.
