"The Austin 7 hp was a small car designed by Austin Motor Company and built by Swift Motor Company for two years from 1909 to 1911. It was launched at the November 1909 Olympia Motor Show and sold under both Austin and Swift marques; a total of 1,030 were produced, 162 of which were Austin. The 7 hp was powered by a single-cylinder engine, using one cylinder block from the Austin 18/24 engine and with 1099 cc produced 9 hp at 1300 rpm. The press described it as "in every detail thoroughly up-to-date. The frame is of pressed steel, a gate lever operates the gears and the finish is excellent". The car was sold for £150 but it was not a success, and production ceased after two years." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_7_hp |
