Hi Graham,

I forgot to mention in my above reply - a very obvious difference between the Big Seven chassis / running gear and that of the Eight is that the Big Seven just like earlier Austin Sevens has a single transverse semi-elliptic spring on the front beam axle and two quarter-elliptic springs on the back axle whereas the Eight has two semi-elliptic springs on both the front and the back axles.
