A ‘C Type’ Austin 7 Commercial Van<\/p><\/div>\n

Butcher, baker, candlestick maker… whichever of these trades you were involved in, if you operated a delivery van in the 1920s or 1930s, there’s a good chance it was an Austin Seven — one of the original vans.<\/p>\n

The Austin 7, the \u2018baby\u2019 Austin, was the first truly mass-produced British car and between 1922 and 1939 some 290,000 were built.<\/p>\n

Today, enthusiasm for owning an Austin 7 is as strong as ever and the National Austin 7 rally never fails to attract a strong entry from all over the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year’s rally is ‘Commercial Austin 7s’, and\u00a0some wonderful examples will join the hundreds of vehicles on display at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu on the 6th July, 2014.<\/p>\n

The official rally is on the Sunday but many entrants take advantage of overnight camping to make a weekend of the event. On the Saturday there is an organised run around the New Forest followed by an evening barbecue.\u00a0Austins form the core of the event, but all tax-exempt historic vehicles of all makes are invited to attend and will have a designated parking area on the rally field.<\/p>\n

Visitors to the Beaulieu attraction on the day can also see the rally and the venue makes for an ideal day out for all the family. Beaulieu is home to a wide variety of attractions and the rally entry ticket also gives access to the historic Palace House and gardens and the National Motor Museum.<\/p>\n
