SUMMARY
Cute and charismatic, this A35 makes the perfect promotional vehicle and is on offer at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1956, replacing the highly successful Austin A30, the A35 was widely respected for its reliability and proved to be extremely robust and economical
- The name reflected the larger and more powerful 35bhp A-Series four-cylinder engine, enabling a slightly higher top speed and better acceleration.
- Purchased in 2005 by our vendor, the little van was used daily, promoting his business up until COVID and used sparingly in retirement since
- Repainted in its original Tweed Grey during current ownership
- Fitted with a pine tool box which does contain some original parts, though this can be removed should the new owner choose to do so
- One or two interesting period features including the rear window sticker from the supplying dealership, badge bar with early badges, an aftermarket three-dial instrument panel and multi-holed internal wall panelling for small item display
