1963 Austin A35 Van
Registration no. NOY 202E
Chassis no. AAV866367
Engine no. 8AGFUH7080

• Two registered keepers from new
• Single owner for 32 years
• Unrestored

Austin's reply to the Morris Minor - the A30 - was launched at 1951 Motor Show. A more cautious design than the Minor, the A30 was nevertheless Austin's first unitary construction car and the first to be powered by the famous A-Series engine. The A30's selling price undercut the Minor's by £10, thanks in part to such cost-cutting features as external door hinges, a solitary rear light, sliding windows and rear brakes operated by a single hydraulic cylinder via a mechanical linkage. A two-door model joined the four-door original in 1953, with van and estate versions following in '54. The model was updated in 1956 with a wider rear window, remote-control gear shift and the 948cc engine, becoming the A35. Saloon production ceased on the Mini's arrival in August 1959, though the A35 van would live on until 1968.

First registered on 16th January 1967, this A35 'van with windows' has had only two registered keepers from new, the last owner for 32 years. Our vendor describes the van as unrestored and in generally good condition, with average/good bodywork and average paint. Reported to drive very well indeed and having covered just circa 59,000 miles, the accompanying paperwork consists of some old invoices and MoT certificates, and the vehicle also comes with a spare wheel and jack.
