1954 Austin A30 - 2 door - great car For Sale

I bought this car with the intention of creating an academy racer - the car is extremely solid all round which made it the perfect candidate. Since the purchase I have bought another car to race and cannot justify converting this now.... and to be honest - it’s too good anyway - with a little TLC it will be one of a few unrestored A30’s out there ready to be used as is and enjoyed

When we bought the car the brakes had failed - so for the purposes of getting it ‘usable’ - we have now completely overhauled them - new brake master cylinder, hoses, brake cylinder and rear cylinder... all works as they should (although if you are familiar with these cars, they’re not exactly up to modern standards!!)

Overall - this car is great - yes there are some blemishes on the bodywork... but this only adds to its charm - you could re spray it... but it only has its original paint once!!
There is some corrosion under the near side headlight - an easy fix if this was deemed necessary... also a slight dink on the sill under the passenger door - looks like someone slipped with a jack or something - but not really noticeable - I have taken pics so you can see for yourself

It’s starts and drives and stops fine... trafficators work as do the lights
Interior is in great condition - could do with a carpet set to finish it off - can be bought online for under £150

Wheels are in good condition as are tyres.
Comes with receipts of work we’ve done, plus a few old receipts from previous owner - but in terms of history that’s about it - looks as though it was laid up for a number of years and the recommissioned in the mid 90’s
Comes with the old style log book from previous owner
Car is TAX and MoT exempt

I have been as honest as I can in my description. - I am not a greedy man and would just like my money back on this great little car...
pics are part of the description of the car
No warranty implied or given - car will be sold as seen and new owner fully aware this is a 64 year old car that will need ongoing work and maintenance.

The car stands as a milestone in automotive history as a result, setting the stage for decades of British car manufacturing ...
