1953 AUSTIN ATLANTIC
There’s no getting away from the Atlantic’s appeal but the market frequently overlooks – or even completely forgets – this post-war Austin. It was fast and capable of covering large distances with ease in its day but its looks have always polarised opinion. The vendor of ACA’s Atlantic bought it in 2008 and, the auctioneer says, immediately sent the car for work that cost £5000 or so over the next two years. It was believed to have been running at the time only for the work to end. There’s plenty left to do but it would make a supremely rewarding project if bought for sensible money.
NO RESERVE
1926 STANDARD 12/24 PARK LANE SALOON
