One of the cars on show at a classic car rally held at Ewen Fields in aid of SSAFA http://www.ssafa.org.uk/ a charity that provides practical support and assistance to servicemen and women, veterans and their families. The Austin 7 was an economy car produced from 1922 until 1939 and some 290,000 cars were made. It was considerably smaller than the Ford Model T. The wheelbase was only 6 ft 3 inches (1.905 m), and the track only 40 inches (1.016 m). Equally it was lighter - less than half the Ford's weight at 794 pounds (360 kg). The engine required for adequate performance was therefore equally reduced and the 747 cc sidevalve was quite capable with a modest 10 hp output. There were several models and this "Ruby" dates from 1934. More information can be found on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_7
