- Austin motor Company catalogue about 1933 1 think looking at the range of cars. £500 for an Austin 20 £125 for an Austin 7 sounds cheap by todays prices but when you consider the average wage was £3 per week and a semi detached house costs £600 it puts it all into perspective.

What a marvellous social insight into a world Long ago. Thanks for posting.
I was under the impression Austin only mass produced tiny cars...but they apparently also made big luxury cars!
Fascinating. Though, I half expected Mr Cholmondley Warner and his friend Greyson to pop up :)
With accompanying pipe and chimney mantlepiece...😎
I'm an American and doubt that I've ever seen an Austin "in the flesh" but I've totally fallen in love with this car because of your channel. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words, apology for not replying sooner, I am only now getting notifications
The Austin Seven was also made in the USA, in Butler Pa, but launched just in time for the recession to mean it was not a big success. The plant closed in 1934. The postwar Austin Healeys were exported to the USA but not in the same number as MGs, both made by the same company competing against themselves. You wonder why they went bankrupt.
@@jmtubbs1639 yes the American Austin co, a really nice car too.
@@jmtubbs1639 Austin tried to make a US comeback in the late 50's with the Austin Atlantic, to say it sunk is an understatement.
@@tonys1636 Indeed The US market wanted British designs not feeble American-inspired copies.
I do say, positively lovely
36 MPG! We've come so far
Fascinating .Very nostalgic too.
Beautiful car with british style!!😎💪
Yes indeed lovely cars , they have lasted too, still plenty around the world, I have one👍
Excellent watch
My grand grandfather owned this car in 1927
It would have been a tad difficult as that was the 1933 model catalogue. It would have been an earlier model.
when i started my apprenticeship in 1965 i earned 3 pounds a week
wow time travel!!
£105 for an Austin Seven!?! Outrageous!! Think I'll stick with my 8hp Morris Minor that only cost £100 brand new.
£105 then = £7,708.53 now which is less than what you'd get a budget car for today
I love this video
Thank you I'm glad you like it, interesting to compare the way they sold cars in yesteryear with today, at least they showed the car in-depth , unlike today .
Fascinating!
Where the inspiration for the Herbie movies came from
Superb
Id love to know what was the expected useful life span of these car bodies and engines?
The average lifespan of a 1930s car was 7years however in the Austin film about bodywork and paint I heard 10years mentioned, engines needed a rebore every 30k miles mainly down to the oil quality,
Why don't we get advertisements like this, today?
Are they too slick?
You mean adverts that actually show you the car in detail, yes indeed
You would need nerves of steel to drive in any of those at 60mph.
Given the weight of them you might comes off best in a crash....
I once read of a guy who was driving one of these , he was side swiped by a golf GTi the Austin continued the journey with a bashed in side, but the GTi ended up on a towtruck
Dejlige og enkle biler fra gamle dage.....
Why don't they still make adverts like this?
Should be obvious.
Perhaps because we hardly make cars anymore?
advert fashion has evolved
This video made me feel ever so gay! 😁
