Seller's comments about 1953' Austin A40
This Austin A40 Sports with a Jenson aluminium body was completely restored between 2009 (mileage 60408) and 2019 (mileage 69011) with over £45000 spent.
Only about 4000 of these cars were produced and very few are left, see - details above .
As well as the work that would normally be part of a total restoration, i. e. body, engine, gearbox etc the following upgrades were carried out :
The front suspension was fitted with poly bushes and roller trunnion top bearings.
The oil filter was changed to a renewable cartridge arrangement. A stainless steel exhaust was fitted. The ignition polarity was changed so that an alternator could be fitted along with electronic ignition. New fuel lines were fitted to an electronic petrol pump at the rear serviced by a new stainless steel tank. Halogen headlights were installed. As were flashing indicators
A lower ratio Austin Healey back axle was fitted and the speedo recalibrated. New rear springs were fitted together with uprated shock absorbers front and back.
A brake servo was added to the completely overhauled braking system.
Seat belts were fitted front and back.
The mileage now is less than 70000 and its full history is known. I have its original sales invoice and all invoices/ receipts for the restoration. I am happy to answer any questions and supply relevant documents.
Only for sale because of ill health.
