‘More power, better brakes and suspension’

Ian has run Oxfordshire Sevens for seven years, but has been around these cars for much longer. ‘Most Sevens are used very sparingly but quite a few are used in trialling, sprints or circuit racing,’ he says. ‘Some do really serious trialling with the VSCC in events such as the Exeter, Scottish and Welsh Trials. For a road car, the first upgrade is usually to the brakes, then SU carburettors. For competition, the focus is always on more power, better brakes and improved suspension.’ oxfordshiresevens.co.uk
