John purchased the car from Chris in 2006. He was returning to driving after a twenty year break. He continues to improve the car and runs regularly at sprints and hillclimbs. The car was equal first with Glen Bishop in the Schultz A7 in the Austin 7 Club sprint/hill climb trophy in 2007.   Suspension and tyre development continues to improve handling at the greater speeds that the engine is now delivering. Cooling development is expected to be completed before the season is finished.   The car is easily handled and exciting to drive. An interesting feature of the car is the mono-posto arrangement. This makes for interesting driving and the between-the-leg gear stick position takes some getting used to !
