EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Chris McEvoy captures the essence of a historic moment in automotive history. The image showcases the iconic Austin 7 OD 7642, a true symbol of British engineering excellence and affordability. Introduced in July 1922, the Austin 7 quickly gained popularity as an accessible family car due to its low tax category. Its official horsepower designation of 7 was derived from the prevailing Horsepower tax method at that time. However, through clever engineering, this little powerhouse soon exceeded expectations with its actual power reaching an impressive 10.5hp from its four-cylinder, 747cc engine. The photograph was taken during the Centenary Celebration at Goodwood Revival in September 2022. Set against the backdrop of Goodwood Motor Circuit in Chichester, West Sussex, England, this event brought together classic cars enthusiasts and racing aficionados alike. With its retro charm and nostalgic appeal, this image perfectly encapsulates the heritage and timeless beauty of historic cars like the Austin Seven. It evokes a sense of excitement and admiration for motor sport while showcasing these iconic vehicles in all their glory. Chris McEvoy's skillful photography transports viewers back to a bygone era where speed and elegance reigned supreme on racetracks around the world.
