About this Vehicle

This is an extremely rare type of A 35 Austin. Less than 500 were made. About 50 remain, of that about 25 are still mobile. This is a very good unmodified working example. Most of the production was sent abroad, because at the time the commercial tax on pick ups meant that this model could not compete. Even abroad in Australia, South Africa and Peru the cars sold badly, and most ended up in the Austin dealerships as runabouts. This example was in a dealership in Salisbury Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, until the president of the A35 club imported it back into the UK. It now lives with us in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
