AI Listing Summary
This 1948 Austin A40 Devon, with an indicated mileage of 63,104, has been with its present keeper for 30 years. Although it has been unused recently, it comes with a history file including old MOT certificates and an original service manual, with a recent new battery.
Condition
6
The car has been unused for a couple of years, suggesting it may need some mechanical reconditioning. The bodywork condition is not described, implying there could be moderate wear and tear. The presence of old MOT certificates suggests it was in good condition up to 2012 but its condition since then is unknown. The mileage is relatively low, which is a positive.
