1930 Austin Heavy 12 Burnham Saloon SOLD

We are delighted to offer this beautifully presented Austin Heavy 12 Burnham Saloon onto the market. VX 3960 appears to be very correct and still retains a large amount of originality including its registration mark. The car has spent the past three/ four years with one owner in the York, Selby area and over this time has proven completely reliable, usable and comes to us on the button and driving superbly.

When initially purchased by the recent owner, the Austin was treated to a new water pump impeller, a new oil pressure gauge, new wiper motor and wiper arms. From the history file with the Austin, we know back in 2011 some major mechanical work was carried out. This included dismantling the engine and rebuilding it as necessary. New parts included gaskets, head studs, valve guides, valves, timing gears, timing chains, manifold studs and nuts and new sump bolts. Further work included fitting a new clutch, stripping and cleaning the Autovac and setting the brakes.

VX 3960 drives very well with good steering, efficient brakes and the engine runs and performs beautifully. The four speed gearbox is a delight to use, the 12/ 4 cruises nicely and feels strong, robust and reliable. The Austin charges correctly, starts up confidently and is ideal for shows and weekend driving. The bodywork is structurally superb, the paint finish is of a very good standard, clearly last painted many years ago and the interior is stunning with wonderful, rich beautifully aged Red leather. This is a very smartly presented Austin with a lovely, honest original feel and it can be driven and enjoyed with confidence.
