Beckett (Threshing and Sawing Contractors, Bassingham AUSTIN SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623759808208... Beautifully restored Austin Seven van. The Austin Seven was designed by Sir Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge during 1921-22 at Herbert's home, Lickey Grange, in response to the companies serious financial problems. Designed as a large car in miniature and able to carry two adults and two children. It a had water cooled four cylinder engine and four wheel brakes and could do up to 50mpg. The board of Austin were not convinced and Herbert Austin and relented only when Austin threatened to take the design to rivals Wolseley. As the car was designed outside the company Herbert (and i presume Stanley received a royalty on each sale, considering the runaway success they did pretty well).
