Austin 7 spotting in Leicester
Discussion
Strange one this:
Over the last few weeks, I have seen Austin 7's seemingly wherever I go. There is a red convertable I have seen a few times around town (one in a B&Q car park), another in the car park of the local hospital, and today at Fosse Park I saw one (a dark blue box saloon) going into Fosse pak, and then another one in the sainsburys car park about 1 minute later. Couldn't possibly be the same one as it was going the wrong way and into a queue of traffic. So thats four different cars in a very short space of time.
Are the car gods trying to tell me somehting, or is there a large community around these parts?

Dunno if there are particularly lots of them around Leicester but there are a surprising number of them still running. Guy who owned a garage near where I used to work had an open top one as a daily driver even in the middle of winter. The owner clubs are pretty active and seem to do a lot of joint events with the VSCC, I suspect because they're just as bonkers
