lesapandre Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
