Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1952 Austin A40 Sports, a US-spec left-hand drive model, presents a running and driving example with an 81k miles. While it retains its original engine and features aluminum body panels, the car displays cosmetic wear, older paint, and some mechanical issues like a gearbox that occasionally pops out of 3rd gear, pointing towards a rolling restoration project.

Condition 

6

The car is described as being in running and driving condition with an intact convertible frame, suggesting it's not in poor condition. However, the presence of minor scrapes, dents, wear and tear on the paint, surface rust on the undercarriage, and a gearbox that pops out of 3rd gear indicate it's not in excellent or near-perfect condition either. The need for new tires and potential reconditioning of the gearbox further support a rating below 'very good'.

This 1952 Austin A40 Sports is a US-spec left hand drive example that was recently uncovered after many years of storage.

The A40 Sports was a collaboration between Austin and Jensen Motors, with aluminum bodywork by Jensen and an Austin chassis and running gear.

This example was originally green, but was repainted red sometime in the past.

The interior remains presentable and the convertible top frame is intact, though the top itself is no longer usable.

The car is currently in running and driving condition and appears to be largely complete.

The car is sold with a clean California title.

The exterior has some minor scrapes and dents, but no major damage.

All body panels are made of aluminum with the exception of the bonnet.

The bumpers, lights, and other trim is all intact and in good condition.
