    Beautiful little Baby Austin.
    That grey silver metallic is perfect, I always remember them in drab grey or black. What a difference 😃

    Just a tad quicker than our family A35 that we had back in the early 1970s. Great to see this little car charging up the hill with that snarly engine tone

    A35 , James Hunts favorite London runabout . Apparently he liked its handling and balance and you can see why here. Nice vid

    Bloody hell I had no idea an A35 could go like that, AWESOME!! My dad had a couple of the van types with windows and back seats and they were super reliable and long lived. One of them did 475k

    Hello from Australia, I can see from other comments you're running a hot 1275 bored out and midget gearbox with 3.7 LSD. What have you done suspension wise to get it handling this well? Would like to build my A30 into something similar.
