The First and Lightest "7".


DB6

Recommended Posts

794 pounds with a mind boggling 10 hp.(thats with full hard top)

Notice how the body style and even the head lights look similar to a current 7 even some 90 years later.

(Some say they even prefer the "basic no-frills performance of these originals, I saw one hold it's own against an Exige just 2 weeks ago)

On a serious note, how do I upload a pic that shows on here , I can only do the linky thing.?

Those look like a ton of fun. Slow, but they look really tossable on those skinny tires. Here's some onboard vid from that very car:

 

 

I'm more interested in the mallock behind it (though pink isn't really my color)

 

Me too -- I was hoping it was an FJr Mallock U2, but it seems to be another Austin 7, called the WEV Special:

With a better color that car would be truly beautiful.
