Re: Longest single journey in your Seven...

It would be hell of an anti-climax arriving at Ardnamurchan point after the journey from Lowestoft in an Austin 7, Amenities are somewhat limited, there might be a telegraph pole to pee against!

I know an ace pub not too far away

Re: Longest single journey in your Seven...

It would be an absolute delight compared to arriving at the appalling nightmare that "greets" you at Lands End.
Also there is a perfectly lovely tea room at Ardnamurchsn which I can fully reccomend.

Re: Longest single journey in your Seven...

With the 100th coming up are there any special runs planned? Circumnavigate the country perhaps, people can do the whole thing of just join for the section that passes through their area. A couple of us are discussing the possibility of doing something similar in NZ.

Ian,

Not wanting to gatecrash your idea but bringing a 7 across the pond would be a lot of fun with those lovely roads you have and I'm sure we could fit 4 cars to a container if they are tourers with double stacking.

Anyway keep the ideas coming we have a little time yet.

Cheers, Mark

I think the late Peter Blackburn did well on the JOGLE in I think 1972, completed single handed in his RN saloon in under 24 hours, it was reported that he had to be lifted out of his car.

Re: Longest single journey in your Seven...

The late Pete Blackburn qualifies. I was there when he arrived, having arrived first, 2 hours before. Glimmering headlights appeared in the cold and dark as he drew to a halt, alone in his box saloon. A faint voice cried "Help me out!"
