Oxfordshire Sevens

Ian started working on Austin Sevens over fifteen years ago, in a corner of a workshop in Wooburn Green, becoming Oxfordshire Sevens after moving to Launton five years later. From those early days in the corner of a small workshop, working in the evenings and weekends, Oxfordshire Sevens has grown into a successful Austin Seven business restoring and repairing customers’ cars, manufacturing panels and parts for trade and retail and preparing successful race cars.

Keen to promote an interest in classic cars, Oxfordshire Sevens now has a small team of young, and not so young, enthusiasts.

Ian Tillman.
After an apprenticeship with Airflow Developments, Ian worked in the electronics, light engineering and sheet metal fabrication, producing parts for classic vehicles and fittings for film sets. A life-long interest in cars started with a decrepit Ford Anglia.

James the Apprentice.
After a few weekend tasters working on classic cars, James secured an apprenticeship with Bicester Academy and is gaining a wealth of practical experience with Oxfordshire Sevens and the other motorsports businesses on the site.

Steve.
Steve’s first experience at Oxfordshire Sevens was as a customer, renting space and restoring his own black Ruby on site with guidance from Ian. He now works there, restoring, rebuilding and repairing the fiddly mechanical and electrical ancillaries and doing upholstery.
