This grey Austin A40 Somerset has been registered to its latest keeper since 2010.

It comes with a large collection of old invoices covering much of its life, including the original bill of sale showing that it was first purchased for £669 on 24th May 1954 by a gentleman in Bath.

Today the odometer displays 50,181 miles.

The file also includes old V5s, the current V5C, photos, correspondences, tax discs, MoT certificates going back to the 1960s and insurance certificates from the 1950s.

We believe the car has an electronic distributor and a Weber 31 ICH conversion.

First registration was on 22nd May 1954.
