An excellent idea! Well done.

If anybody is worried about damaging their 7, there are lots of photos of 7s in the cobham production car trials here which should reassure you

For anyone dreaming of taking it one step further why not consider doing the MCC's Edinburgh trial this year? No need to commit to the main trial or the easier class O which misses the severest hills and has no restarts. This years Edinburgh will run the new class R for older more fragile vehicles/ drivers. Following the same route as the other cars but only tackling the easiest hills ( 4 not 14) and the two special tests ( very short autotest style tests) This year we've taken out all bar 1 mile of dual carriageway and replaced it with small dusty rarely used tarmac roads and added for class O and R spectacular views of the Peak district. 180 miles in total September 30th. Regs when available will be on the MCC website.

I've always wondered, is one at a disadvantage in a Sports in Trials, because of clearance?

Although I have never competed in A7 Trials, I have along with 'Pearls not a Singer' had an enormous amount of enjoyment watching A7 Trials over many years.
I have several videos on Youtube under the name of 'Balbertn' showing A7 owners having a really good tme for a considerably small outlay. Nick, I wish you every success in your venture and hope it encourages many more A7 owners to take part.

JonE - There might be the odd section where a low clearance is an issue but generally you should be fine. Sometimes even high clearance cars can be confounded - but don't forget that the idea is NOT for all cars to clear all sections :-) I really do urge you to give it a try. It's huge fun, not that serious unless you want it to be, and really, really friendly.

An excellent idea Nick! The best of luck.

For those not familiar with trials, here's a short video of a hill on the PWA7c winter trial last Christmas. I'm driving the cream Ulsteroid.
