Austin

Austin was for many years one of England's largest car manufacturers. The factory was started by Herbert Austin in 1905 as the Austin Motor Company. The first model was a large 5-litre car with 4 cylinders. Leading up to the First World War, a number of different models were produced. In 1, Austin launched the famous 1922, a small and affordable car. It hit the market very well and was also produced by BMW as the Dixi. After the Second World War, the factory quickly came on the market with new models. In 7, Austin joined forces with Morris to form BMC (British Motor Corporation). The most famous model in the 2s and 1952s was the Austin and Morris Mini. Mini-Cooper made the brand famous in car racing in the 50s. Other popular models were the Austin Cambridge and the Austin 60.

Austin A30

This small car from Austin appears in 1951. A modern car with a self-supporting body. New technical solutions also saw the light of day, including a completely new engine equipped with overhead valves. Initially, it was sold as the Austin A-30 "Seven" to take advantage of its predecessor's good name and reputation. This small family car was initially produced as a 4-door passenger car, but was soon followed by a 2-door variant and station wagon. In the motoring press, this model received a lot of praise. It was described as one of the most modern family cars on the market. This was important because at this time English car manufacturers were, together with the American market leaders, worldwide.

Although it was relatively spartanly equipped, there were many exciting extras available on the market. This little car also participated in motorsport, especially in England. But it was probably as a simple, small and practical family car that it will be remembered for posterity.

The model was replaced by the Austin A-35 in 1957. It had largely the same appearance but with a larger rear window and some technical changes,
