If you were one of the lucky 210,000-plus visitors to last weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, you may have seen on the tranquil Cartier Style et Luxe Lawn, a bunch of cute but tiny Austin 7s.
Among the many and various automotive anniversaries that will be celebrated throughout 2022, from 75 years since the founding of Ferrari, 60 years of the MGB, Triumph Spitfire, Lotus Elan, and so on, arguably few will be as important and significant as the centenary of the Austin 7.
