Austin Ulster Replica

About the Austin Ulster Replica

The Austin 7 was an economy car produced from 1922 until 1939 in the United Kingdom by the Austin Motor Company. Nicknamed the "Baby Austin", it was one of the most popular cars ever produced for the British market, and sold well abroad. It wiped out most other British small cars and cyclecars of the early 1920s;[1] its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the USA. It was also licensed and copied by companies all over the world.
The Austin 7 Ulster was a pointed-tail two-seater which did well in competitions in the years around 1930, both in mad-equipped sports form, as in the Tourist Trophy in Northern Ireland, and in stripped racing form in events at Brooklands Track. In the 500 mile race at Brooklands in 1930 the Duke of Richmond 8c Gordon (then the Earl of March) and Sammy Davis drove a stripped two-seater sports “7” in supercharged form and won at 83.41 m.p.h, after sharing the driving for 5 hrs. miss. 13 sec. Earlier in she year a fully-equipped version, with mudguards, lamps, etc. averaged 64.97 m.p.h. in the Brooklands Double-Twelve event, which as the some implies was two 12 hour races, and won the Autocar trophy for the best performance on price.
Many Ulster relicas have been made and enjoyed.
