The Austin 8 was introduced in February 1939 and, unlike with many British cars, production continued into the war.

It was only in 1943 that manufacture briefly paused, restarting again in 1945 and running through to 1948.

This example was registered in July 1946 and has only had one previous owner according to the V5C.

However, there is a buff logbook in the history folder that lists other owners earlier in the car's life.

One fictional owner was Miranda Hart as Matron Camilla Fortescue‑Cholmondeley‑Browne, commonly known as Chummy, in the BBC TV series Call the Midwife ‑ the car belonged to her character and there are a couple of pictures from the set of her inside it included in the history file.
