OA7C Lichfield Group

The 750 Motor Club was formed in 1939 as a means for Austin 7 enthusiasts to meet each other and talk about things relating to the Austin Seven. From early on one of the main features of the Club was an interest in organizing sporting events that allowed participation to those without a great deal of financial backing.
As such the Club organized road rallies and trials and the Austin 'Special' started to make an appearance.
The Club has a sporting bias but still organizes more sedate road runs for enthusiasts who are more interested in a nice day out with a pub lunch.
The Club holds a National Austin Seven Rally on the first Sunday in July each year at Beaulieu. Photos and reports of these appear in our 'Event Report' section.
