This is a benchmark example of Austin's six cylinder model, which in 1937 had undergone a complete facelift to bring it up to contemporary style and by now the engine was somewhat refined compared with earlier models.
Arguably the most handsome model of the 1937 generation, it would bring sales of 11,349 units, and received favourable press, it was marketed as 'the Sound Insulated car'.
An old V5 registration document provides the information that this Austin was first registered on 3rd July 1939, which confirms it to have been of London origin, though very little else is known of its history.
