Boyd-Carpenter launched the ultra modern looking “B-C Special Austin Seven” in August 1928. It went on to successfully feature in many clubman events at Brooklands, also taking part in the major trials of the period. By the autumn of 1930 the body style remained in vogue and Boyd-Carpenter began bodying the newly launched Wolseley Hornet with a scaled up version of their all aluminium Austin special body. This image is one of several taken for the B-C Hornet’s official launch early in 1931.
