SUMMARY

Super rare and equally as quirky, the Austin A40 Tourer....

 

DESCRIPTION

Offered for sale is a 1.2L 1950 Austin A40 Devon Convertible manual. Coming with a partial history file, this lot's condition scores 86/135. Super rare and equally as quirky, the Austin A40 Tourer....

 

 

Right-hand drive from new and powered by a 4-cylinder, 1200cc, 40 bhp OHV engine

Built from CKD kits at the Austin Distributors Federation plant in Petone, New Zealand

One of very few examples in the UK as they were only distributed in Australia and New Zealand

Arrived on our shores in July 2019 and just the one owner in the UK

Clearly the car was restored in its native New Zealand prior to coming to the UK

Looking like a grown up Dinky Toy, it seems to generate affection from all

On offer from a large private collection, this little Austin has plenty of love to give
