What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

Marcel Violet was certainly prolific and very active.  In the legendary Amiens Grand Prix of 1913 he drove a Violet-Bogey. In 1920 he raced a car entered as a Major, in 1921 his machine was a Weler, this having a Major engine. At Monthlery in October 1925 there were three Sima Violet recorded as finishers, Marcel first place in the 750cc class, and messieurs Dore and Stanton first and second in the 500cc class. Second in the 750 class? Well it came from Longbridge and was driven by Edie Hall.
