SUMMARY

Italian-influenced, futuristic, post-war Austin Convertible aimed squarely at the American market.

DESCRIPTION

  • Launched in 1949, the A90 Atlantic was by far the most flamboyant model in the otherwise staid Austin range
  • US-influenced styling cues included five chrome strips running down the bonnet, a built-in centre spot lamp, a 'Flying A' mascot on each front wing, and rear wheel spats
  • This gorgeous convertible has clearly been well restored at some point
  • UK-supplied in right-hand drive with a column change, 58,367 miles indicated
  • Finished in Seafoam Green with a nicely refurbished tan interior and green carpets, all very attractive
  • Tidy engine bay showing it has clearly been cared for
  • Part of two Private Collections for many years and received little or no use
  • Purchased in 2020 by our vendor in smart, running and driving condition and has been further detailed since
