In the Light Car & Cycle Car Magazine for the 24th September, 1924, was a lengthy road test of the new Austin Seven "50 m.p.h. Sports" that, from the article, seems to have lasted for around 2000 miles. The pages are reproduced below together with a charming contemporary advertisement for the car by the artist Gilbert Rumbold.
In addition to ordinary road use, the car was tested on Lingard Hill, a short, cobbled street in Bradford notorious for its 1-in-4 gradient, with a final pitch of 3½ to 1. Sadly, no illustration of this exercise was printed, but as a single pre-WW2 photograph of the hill has survived, I thought it a harmless indulgence to reconstruct how such a scene might have appeared on the magazine's low-quality newsprint.
