Austin Seven Vs Morris Minor

• 

There are some types of car which inspire total dedication from their owners. Much more than a means of transport, they become part of the owners' personality. Along with this dedication comes too a single-minded belief that their car stands head-and-shoulders above its rivals, and they pull no punches when debating this fact with owners of other, lesser, vehicles.
 Perhaps the longest-standing of these rivalries was initiated in 1928 when William Morris launched his Minor as an answer to Herbert Austin's groundbreaking Seven. Foolish is the man who suggests to an Austin owner that a Morris Minor is the better car, and vice versa.
 Matthew Bell recently braved the flak from both camps in a good-natured shoot-out between the two cars. Growing up with baby Austins, could he put aside his personal preference in the name of impartiality? Pick up a copy of the November issue of The Automobile to find out.
