Ah, the ageing owner and their memory. I remember that the Ruby is in the workshop, but did not recall that David Morgan's book had inded provoked comment. One area was the strange world of publishing which included the statutory "grassy knoll" joke. The other was raising eyebrows about Morgan's claim that Sir Herbert might have recieved £14 in royalties for each car, every other reference gives a figure of two guineas or £2 10s. There seems to be no citing of sources justifying this differing view. Either the Bulletin's anonymous reviewer is no Seven historian, or like me had forgotten questions raised.
As for reviews, if anyone would like to review a book on the species of motor car made extinct by the Seven, that seminal volume "Cyclecars, an annotated index" let me know and I will post a copy right away.
