I have just finished reading this catalogue and enjoyed doing so. I shan't bore you with a review, but I would recommend you purchasing (if you haven't done so already) a copy of 'A Comprehensive History of the Austin Seven Grasshopper', available from Graham Beckett through the Pre-War Austin Seven Club, so you can compare the potted histories of these indomitable cars. Just saying.

Is that to imply that the information in "The Complete Catalogue..." is a bit shaky for the Grasshopper?
Cheers, Geoffrey

It got past the scrutineers, somehow.

The reason Grasshoppers are not included in the book, and rightly so, is that they were never offered for sale to the general public.

But they are, Chris (page 122).
