750 Motor Club is an auto racing club in the UK. It was founded in 1939 and was originally for Austin 7 fans (750 refers to the 750cc Austin 7 engine). It later led to racing and the 750 Formula where specials were raced. Famous members include Colin Chapman, and Eric Broadley.
The 750MC has continued to promote low-cost racing for enthusiasts, with a range of championships for production and racing sports cars, saloons and single-seaters.
Famous quotes containing the words motor and/or club:
“We disparage reason.
But all the time it’s what we’re most concerned with.
There’s will as motor and there’s will as brakes.
Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
