One hundred years ago today on 11th September 1921, and which fell on a Sunday, saw Stanley Edge journeying over to Lickey Grange on his motor cycle. Met at the door by Sir Herbert, he was ushered though the library into the billiard room where upon the table were strewn sketches and ideas made by Sir Herbert. Here Austin immediately got to work explaining and discussing these ideas with Edge for a new model which went on to be the Austin Seven.
An auspicious day, one which went on to help secure the future of the Austin Motor Company and to change the face of motoring in Great Britain.
