O<\/strong>xfordshire Sevens<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Keen to promote an interest in classic cars, Oxfordshire Sevens now has a small team of young, and not so young, enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
