"Celebrate the Seven" 2019 Rugby World cup Trans Siberian Challenge.
From an original interest group of 8 cars almost two years ago, we are now a dynamic group of three cars. These being my family in BBM a RTC special, Simon above in his tourer and Nick and Juliette from Yorkshire. Over the last two years we have attended over thirty events both Motoring and Rugby, to promote the might A7 and our exciting project. We have distributed over 400 of the little "Celebrate the Seven" handbooks. Motoring enthusiasts outside of the normal Austin 7 family being our target group. We have spent the last year developing contacts across Russia and Japan and have now, I am pleased to say, some very positive support in both countries, although there exists some dis-belief at our silliness! We have been invited for example to put on our display at Bristol Rugby for their match on the 19th of this month against the Russian team Enisie STM from Krasnoyarsk in Siberia where we hope to make new friends and raise more funds to buy Rugby kit for children in Russia. We are very fortunate to have the support of the British and National motor museums, and personally much help from some of our cherished suppliers. We are now in the final logistical and booking phase and chasing further support and sponsorship. In my case I am working on the car under the very watchful eye of Dave Williams. The question is will I ever be able to "take the pebble from his hand" and fly free?( For those of a certain age) There is more info and occasional updates at www.celebratetheseven.org or just contact me. christopherblakey@hotmail.co.uk 07704140884 Hope that helps.
