Austin Ulster

How about a 1930 Austin Ulster Replica? The factory racers, or "works" models acquired the Ulster name due to their success in the Tourist Trophy races on the Ards circuit in Ulster -- although Austin described the cars in their advertising as the Austin Seven Sports Model.

The Ulsters were so popular (and easy to replicate), that there are certainly more Ulsters on the road now than Austin ever made -- and new replicas continue to be made from other Austin Seven models.

The photo above is from the 2008 VSCC Lakeland Trials.
