I was wondering how many Austin Sevens there are around here that I have not seen, and then wondering how thick they are on the ground? Given the area of the United Kingdom is about 100,000 sq miles, and there are about 10,000 surviving Sevens - this is about one Seven for every 10 square miles - so on average you should never be more than about 3 miles from an Austin Seven. However, as only about 10% of the UK is built up, within towns and cities the average density would be more like one per square mile. So there should always be one very not far from you, wherever you are! (Where I live, there is mine, plus a box saloon along the road, three more about half a mile away and another one a mile across the fields - and there may be others too, of which I am not aware - they are easily hidden away.)
