thanks grandpa reg

It's a very tender and romantic presentation that shows that Austin can be brought back to life. I have an Austin A40 1948. Congratulations

I've got an a30 from 1955 (2 doors) myself! Regards from holland!

My Gran had one of these-loved it she got that in 1955-remember it well-I can play the music on my clarinet-once upon a time-delightful video

what is the difference between A30 and A35 apart from A35 has a bigger back window? are the engine and box same?

[grandpareg]

Austin A35. This was, in principle, the same as the A30 but had greater rear vision by way of an enlarged window. The Engine in the A35 was upgraded to a 948 cc; this gave the car that extra oomph,

It also had flashing indicators and a chrome trim round the radiator grill.

Those little Austins are a joy to work on, very simple and strightforward.

A lot of the engine parts are still available because that engine was also used in the early model Mini and other BMC products.

Body panels are very hard to find though.

The A30 and A35 are now sort after by collectors.

Thanks alot! You were lucky to have been the proud owner of such a lovely car. Sadly, not many of them made it to Canadian shores, the only example for sale in my province has been heavily affected by rust :(
