What have you done today with your Austin Seven
I remember an early "Which" test that features a Morris Minor. They rigged up some sort of contraption to measure MPG from cold and for the first few miles it was down in single figures....

It passed! 65 mile round trip but gave it a good run in the freezing cold morning air through Chatsworth Park and over Beeley Moor. Joe had a short drive and was a little traumatised by the experience. One or two teething problems to be ironed out now. (On the car that is).

My son, Julian, had a drive in the Chummy last weekend, the first old car he's been in since being taken home from hospital in a Ruby after his birth. He said, "You used to do WHAT mileage in one of these! Impossible!". I had to agree with him, it does seem strange at this distance in time...
