The host of the video is Donald Osborne CEO of the Audrain Auto Museum in Newport Rhode Island.

“The Austin Seven not only effectively spawned Jaguar, BMW and Nissan cars, but Colin Chapman's first Lotus was an Austin Seven special, as was Lola founder Eric Broadley's first car. And the first manual John Haynes of Haynes manuals fame published was 'how to build an Austin Seven special'. So quite an automotive legacy came from that little car.”


If you ever find yourself in Rhode Island I highly recommend visiting the museum.
The theme of the cars changes every three months so there is always something very impressive to see.
