    The Austin Seven mobilised Britain and has long been a popular and affordable entry to pre-War motoring. Whether restoring an early Chummy for weekend drives, getting more power from the engine for trials events or even displaying at motor shows, the Seven has huge appeal as a relatively cheap pre-War classic car and remains relatively easy to buy, own, restore and drive. Paul tells all you need to know, how much to pay and whether this charming example of a people’s car is for you.

    I wish these were being made today but with modern mechanicals.
    They would make far more sense than the bloated suvs and crossovers that blight the roads today.

    I have always admired these, but prefer something with just a little more oomph. My MG TD fits the bill. Pre war styling, but a reasonable level of power which enables 50 mph+ cruising.

    Thanks so much for this brilliant review. Am thinking of trying to buy one and this video has been a great help.

    One more recommendation- if you don't drive it before considering purchase it will be a bit of a shock if your idea of an old car is a morris minor. Modern cars pretty much drive themselves.....these don't. You will need small feet, and the brakes and steering are more akin to riding a horse than driving a motor car.

    At 1:42 there appears to be a brake cable shortener device? Bad practice I am told! I’m not an MOT tester but I’d expect that to be a mark down.

    Fun fact: the Austin 7 chummy is the basics of Brum.

    Why get somone 6'8"? Why not get someone average 5'10"?

    Kind of Lancaster Insurance to sponsor the Car video
    Gotta suspect they know a lot more about cars than WW2 Bomber aircraft
    That silhouette's more like a Sterling than a Lancaster 🙄

      I believe the non-descript shape is deliberate. Fear the vengeful ghost of Roy Chadwick....or his descendant's appointed representatives..

    Less expensive than my ford Model A.
