I use it a lot (3-4,000 miles per year) but live in the Scottish Borders where there are no motorways or dual carriageways. On the whole I find I don't seriously impede other traffic.What made you buy the Big 7 over a standard Austin 7? To date I have done far less research on the Big 7, what is it like to get hold of spares? How different is the engine, how does it compare acceleration and top speed wise?
In town (eg Edinburgh) it's great. Keeps up with traffic with no problems and fits where other cars won't. The Japanese tourists love it & and everyone smiles at me as I drive by. Great fun.

The Big Seven isn't significantly faster, but does have the feel of a bigger car with a bit more metal around you.
Do you have a Big 7? If so, what speed are you getting at a comfortable cruise? I was looking for at least 50 mph to make the car more useable.
