The vendor has provided the model of the vehicle to be an Austin A40 Ferina Mk1. Please confirm upon your own inspection.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • Mk1 Austin A40 Ferina
  • This vehicle has been owned since new by the same family. It was the father's car and passed to the son
  • It underwent a restoration back in the 1990s, with all the receipts of all work carried out
  • The vehicle was taken off the road in 1995 and has been in dry storage all its life!
  • I have all original handbooks and manuals for the car and all the original parts which were removed, including the original airbox, even original gaskets
  • It is solid underneath but does have a hole in the ns rear lower quarter panel that needs repair, also the brake master cylinder needs new seals or replacing.
  • The clutch plate is stuck due to standing and will need to be freed or replaced. This will make a very easy project for someone, a week's work, and can be used as is, or maybe take it and do a full respray and chrome work redone
  • It will make a lovely, honest little car with not a lot of effort, and to be a 1 family owner vehicle is a rare thing
  • The clock has just over 6,000 miles on and I suspect this is genuine mileage too
  • Or you could turn this into a race car and run it in the historic race series, either way, own a piece of history and enjoy the tinkering time!!
