It was also something of a celebrity vehicle, appearing on the cover of the <em>Light Car &amp; Cycle Car&#8217;s<\/em> February 21st 1930 edition, while also featuring in a number of other magazine photos and snippets. Throughout 1929 and early 1930, <strong>J.V. Hay<\/strong> used it to compete in trials and circuit racing making extensive use of WL 7180&#8217;s capabilities.
