Description

  • Part of Austin's A40 and A70 'County' Series, the Devon was introduced as the practical four-door saloon version of the range, distinct from the A40 Dorset, which was the two-door variant sharing the same general layout
  • The original mechanical specification consisted of a 1.2 litre inline-four cylinder BMC B-series engine, front coil sprung independent suspension and Girling brakes
  • Characterful post-war styling with separate wings and upright cabin proportions typical of Austin’s early-1950s production
  • This example is finished in what became known as 'Battleship Grey' at the time
  • Offered from long term ownership of ten years and forming part of an eclectic collection, the odometer records 76,368 miles at the time of cataloguing
  • The Austin has seen light use over recent years and largely stored, so an element of recommissioning is to be expected before prolonged road use
  • An increasingly uncommon survivor from the early days of Britain’s family motoring resurgence, offering a sensible entry point into 1950s saloon ownership and offered without reserve
