The Austin 7 hp was a small British motor car designed by Austin and built by Swift from 1909 to 1911, not to be confused with the Austin Seven of the 1920s. It was shown to the public at the November 1909 Motor Show at Olympia and sold under both the Austin and Swift names, 1,030 in all, of which 162 were Austins. A single-cylinder engine of 1,099 cc, using one cylinder block from the Austin 18/24 engine, produced 9 hp at 1,300 rpm. The press praised its pressed steel frame, gate gear lever and finish, and it sold for 150 pounds, but it was not a success and production stopped after two years.
