 1926 or 1927

Very odd name.

 Gordon England was one of the firms offering Austin Seven bodies - various saloons, tourers, sporty things.

Pub quiz trivia - the world's first ever printed road test in a car magazine was published by Autocar on 13 April 1928, and was an Austin 7 Gordon England "Sunshine Saloon" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKNINmffc2E&t=34s

 ^ I think that “the Autocar” might be accused of semantic sleight of hand here, and refer you to the following: -

“Testing the Three-Litre Bentley”
“A car which possesses quite unusual characteristics, can run slowly on a high top gear, and is very fast on full throttle.”

Autocar - April 15th 1922.

I’ll try to sharpen the picture a bit when I’ve stopped shaking.

 ^ I guess the Autocar 1928 claim is based on the first attempt to accurately/independently measure things - performance, fuel consumption, braking etc - to a consistent standard using consistent location and equipment, therefore beginning to compile a databank of comparative like-for-like data. No doubt they did a lot of driving reports before then, but without generating the degree of measured statistics.

There's been a fair bit of sporadic publicity for this claim in recent years - their 5000th road test, the magazine's 125th anniversary - and I haven't seen any disagreement surfacing for their claim.
