Austin A30 2 Door

The Austin A30 was the company's first monocoque car, a small 803cc A-Series machine with around 28 bhp that was built to undercut the Morris Minor. Two-door cars like this one remain popular with club racers, but this example is the opposite of a track special: a largely untouched survivor from a deceased estate.

It shows 39,051 miles, which the dealer says it has been assured is correct, though the page admits there is not enough paperwork to prove it. Old MOTs record the mileage creeping up from 34,704 in 1998, and the last test in December 2023 was at 38,939 miles with no advisories. The Heritage Certificate says it left the factory in July 1956 in Tweed Grey with a red interior and a heater, and it has had three owners, two of whom kept it for 20 and 47 years respectively.

The car is described as unrestored apart from a respray about 40 years ago. A 2023 service included a brake overhaul, a new clutch and a new battery. It comes with the V5C, older logbooks, period brochures, an indoor car cover and the transferable original NBX 840 number plate.
