Powered by the 3.5-litre side valve six-cylinder engine, no.
2538, it retains its original Irish registration JI 4971, a County Tyrone/Omagh mark.
The 20/6 was Austin's six-cylinder Twenty, entering volume production in 1928.
The car was built as a hearse some time ago, with a 19th-century horse-drawn hearse body mounted onto the Austin chassis.

The former hearse body is understood to have been retained by a Northern Ireland museum, with enquiries currently ongoing.
