It is just 90 years ago that Herbert (later, Lord) Austin announced the introduction of the iconic Austin Seven. Since then over 290,000 were sold in the UK. Perhaps another 50,000 were built and sold under licence in France as the Rosengart, Germany as the Dixi later to become the BMW/Dixi and in the USA as the American Austin later to become the Bantam.

To celebrate this milestone there are to be a number of special events for Austin 7 owners enjoy.

First, at Easter, there is the chance to join a 'Demonstration Run' from John O Groats to Lands End. You have any time between the 7th and the 11th of April to take the drive. You may choose to do it in 24hrs or take a leisurely 5 days. An entry form can be downloaded from this web site or obtained from 750 HQ.

In May, 12th to the 27th, there is the 1,600 mile Eurotour12, the 'Alpine Amble', to Interlaken in Switzerland. All crossings, hotels and evening meals on travelling days are booked.
