Based on a concept drawn by Raymond Loewy, the Austin A30, and latterly the A35, was the brand's entry-level model for post-war Britain, but its ability goes way deeper than its charming styling. As Austin's rival to the Morris Minor, the car utilised a more modern and stiffer monocoque construction. It has since forged a formidable reputation in historic classic saloon racing as a ‘giant killer’ and it's well documented that both Graham Hill and James Hunt were very fond of its abilities as indeed were more recent Goodwood Revival stars, Rae Davis and Martin Brundle in their favourite race, the St. Mary's Trophy.

This particular example was first registered on the 30th of November 1954, retaining a period registration ODF656. The shell is solid and could be very useful as a historic racer donor. However, we prefer it in its current roadgoing form. The previous keeper spent over £4000 on upkeep with Forest Motors Ltd since August 2021.

The works carried out are as follows…

20th August 2021- Carry out vehicle inspection and report, check all breaks for operation and bleed. convert car to negative earth. supply and fit flashing indicators front and rear, supply and fit hazard warning light switch. Supply and fit 5 radial tyres. Supply and fit new exhaust system. Supply and fit electronic distributor, new coil leads and spark plugs. top up all levels including gearbox and rear axle.

22nd November 2021- Convert windscreen washers from manual pump to electric pump, repair and refit speedometer, replace front and rear carpets set, carry out underbody protection,

05th May 2022- Replace head gasket and set up engine, replace fault dynamo replace both sides door aperture seals.

The interior is presentable for a car of this age with seats showing a nice patina and signs of wear, the recently replaced carpets look wonderful as expected.
