Seller's comments about 1946' Austin 8
Launched on 24 February 1939, production continued into the war until 1943. Approximately 9, 000 - 9, 500 of the wartime Austin models were two-seater military 8AP tourers produced for the armed services and government, and the rest were saloons, tourers and vans. After World War II, the model was made from 1945 until 1948.
This example was built on the 1st of May 1946, for the British home market. In more recent times it has been lovingly restored and is presented today in good order.
The engine is running very nicely and sounds in good health, it starts well and is fitted with a new 6V battery. All the fluids are in the correct places and there is no frost damage. The drive train is no exception, easy to drive and the synchromesh gearbox makes for easy gear changes, the brakes work well and the car handles as it should.
The restoration work was completed around 6 years ago, and the paintwork was carried out to a high standard. There are now a few imperfections, but on the whole it is still very good. There is no corrosion to the underside which is very clean and tidy.
The interior is wonderfully original, the seats are in very good condition, new carpets have been fitted as well as a new headlining. The car is still retains its original working trafficators and has the added bonus of being fitted with indicators for modern day driving.
There is a small amount of history, including a heritage certificate, and V5.
