The Austin Seven was designed by Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge as a private venture, at Austin's home in Lickey Grange, and taken up by Austin after a frosty reception to his design by the Austin board had led to Herbert Austin threatening to take his design to rivals Wolseley. The car was manufactured in many guises from 1922-39, selling over 290,000 models, and was licenced to BMW in Germany as the Dixi, to Nissan in Japan, Rosengart in France, and Austin America in the States as the Bantam. The inexpensive and popular Seven revolutionised the car market in Britain. The Nippy was introduced as a rounded back, two seater introduced mid-1933 with curved front axle, underslung rear springs and tuned 21bhp engine. All models with low, wide shell traditional radiator. Some 1936 models have the more powerful pressure lubricated Speedy engine, and some late model cars with the standard 1937 three bearing engine Diolch am 95,857,259 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
