Three Speed Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I saw these at the Haynes Museum. 3 solutions to the problem of transporting 2 people with minimal luggage.

lesapandre Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Herbert Austin at the wheel of his 7 creation. The genius of the car was that it was a 'big car in miniature'. Part designed at his house Lickey Grange, outside Longbridge, between 1921 and 1922 in the billiards room! House is still there now divided into flats. rob88h 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly a 7 can be parked (weight permitting) on a full size billiard table because Herbert Austin used his table as a guide when drawing out the plans.

bunglebus Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Not the same vehicles of course, but the contrast between the Tizwaz, sensibly sized Up and the other two really struck me. No wonder it's hard to get in a parking space now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattlecan Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 It’s a topic on bbc breakfast as I type, particularly SUV’s they are talking about. Apparently in cities especially, people are parking them in disabled spots because they are larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
