Seller's comments about 1955' Austin A30
TODAY Martin Howey Classics (Est. 26 years) offers something completely different. A true Wolf in sheep's clothing which, in this case, is a 1955 Austin A30 2-door with an MG Midget 1275cc twin-carb engine shoe-horned in beneath that cute little bonnet!
As you can imagine, she drives superbly and can really shift. Thankfully she also has servo assisted brakes in order to deal with the increase in power. After all, when she was new, she was equipped with all of 803cc!
Extremely pretty in light blue with a contrasting cherry red interior, she also boasts a super structure and appears to be rock solid and very clean underneath with what look like new sills. Fancy a spot of historic racing or maybe you just fancy upsetting some bloke at the traffic lights. Anyway, this is a delightful little pocket rocket and comes highly recommended.
The registration number DAS 625 is also transferable.
This description is based on my opinion of the vehicle, the paperwork that comes with the car and anything I have been told about it. The vehicle is 69-years-old and this cannot be taken as a definitive statement for obvious reasons. As with most classic cars, there may be faults and quirks whilst, almost inevitably, some degree of tinkering and care will always be called for. Such are the joys of owning an antique vehicle and they must be taken within their own context and not compared to modern day cars. They are sold as old, mainly out-dated machines and come without any comeback whatsoever. They are my terms and conditions.
My classic cars are motoring antiques. This car, for example, is 69-years-old. It's not two, five or even ten-years-old as your own everyday car may be. It has been in service for more than half a century and so will have quirks and faults in there somewhere. However, faults on these old girls are not always apparent when buying and selling classics which is what I do. I do not restore them, nor do I pretend that they are concours cars. The majority of them go out as they came in, and I continue to enjoy finding more - a skill which is becoming increasingly difficult as many of you will be aware. They deserve to be taken on as "family pets" and cared for through thick and then. They don't make them any more and demand now out-strips supply. Please bear all this in mind, and enjoy your classic car. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote.
I have now been established as a one-man band classic car dealer for 25 years and pride myself on my buying prowess and - due to small margins - my prices which I firmly believe are up there among the very best in the UK classic car marketplace.
Thanks, Martin.
