Austin A40 Sports (1953)
The Austin A40 Sports debuted at the 1949 London Motor Show as a four-passenger, aluminium-bodied convertible variant of the Austin A40 – carrying an Austin of England nameplate, bearing Austin's Flying A hood ornament, and designed and manufactured in conjunction with Jensen Motors.
Production of the A40 Sports, which was intended as a sporty touring car rather than a true sports car, began in November 1950 for model year 1951. By the time production ended in 1953, just over 4,000 had been manufactured.
This smart red 1953 Austin A40 Sports, VTW 555, is seen arriving in Broadway for the Cotswold town's classic car show on 15th August 2021.
