1929 Austin Seven Special:

Stephen put this car together in 1988 (with a lot of help from Wallace and Robert McNair). It has been used continuously in VCC speed events since then and modified as needed. A supercharger was added in 2009 and still goes! This car is based on a 1929 Austin Seven chassis with 3 speed gearbox, two main bearing engine. It has a supercharger driven from camshaft gear as per Austin ‘Grasshopper’ factory cars. It competed at Leadfoot 2016.
