1952 Austin A40 Sports
For restoration

Basically sound but needs full restoration.
Comes with several mechanical secondhand spares such as engines, gearboxes, hubs etc. Has a 1622 B-series engine installed but 1200cc engines are with it (not unfortunately the one original to the car). There is a set of twin carbs with it.
I have MoTs up to 1995 when it was in use with the 1622 engine. Since then I think it has been stored. I do not know if it would start, but I suspect that it would with a little TLC.
I have a V5 in my name and the original number is transferrable though I hope you don‘t.
I don‘t think it is the most original example you will ever see, but the anomalies are not too distressing to the eye and the car could undoubtedly be returned to the road without too much major effort. The interior is surprisingly good, but the hood would best be described as suitable for pattern. I am not even sure if it the correct hood.

I want £2995 for it including the spares.
Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or proposals of a part-exchange nature. I could do with a good laugh.
