1922 Austin 20 HP. 'Transformable Saloon' for sale. SOLD

An Austin 20 HP. believed to be of late 1922 manufacture and carrying a 'Austin Factory' 4-seat 'Transformable Saloon' (Westminster Coupe?) body which is the only one still existant. This is a 'semi-oily rag' as it has never had a full restoration though it had some mechanical work on the engine (carried out in the last ten years) and was repainted possibly some 40, or so, years ago!
It is a very original car complete down to such details as the original 'locking' levers on the CAV side-lights. Lovely CAV headlights, all lights having nice beveled glasses. The rear window also is beveled and there is a 'reading-light' fitted to the folding 'hood'.
As usual for this model at the time the brakes are on the rear wheels only with the handbrake working on the transmission. The brakes are very effective - I can attest to this! The shock-absorbers are 'Gabriel Snubbers' as original.
Before I purchased the car it had only been driven some 200 miles during the previous 12 years. So far, since May this year, I have driven it some 350 miles with no problems. I will continue to use it until sold as it improves with use!
The Austin is definitely not immaculate and though almost everything works it would lend itself to some improvement while being quite usable as-is.
There is an original handbook and a parts manual for the car.
This is a very large and imposing vehicle.
For more information please contact me.
