Austin A40 Mk2
1959 Austin saloon car seen at the 2004 Goodwood Revival
This is one of 170+ images of classic cars and aircraft that I took at the September 2004 Circuit Revival meeting at Goodwood, in Sussex.
[Index of Goodwood images]
The restored Austin below was photographed over the 3 day weekend at Goodwood. This pale blue A40 Mk2 is a saloon car of the type often seen at motor racing meets and events in years gone by, this particular Austin saloon car dating back to the 1959 era. Such cars
would have appeared in saloon car races at motorsport meetings, such as those at Goodwood.
You'll find many more restored vehicles similar to this Austin A40 Mk2 elsewhere on Classic Wheels, just have a look at the left hand menu.

Further notes on this classic A40 Mk2:
Here is a baby Austin racer that despite only having 948cc went very well indeed out on track. Curiously this one is down as a 1959 model yet for that year BMC were still building the Mk1 but this has the front end treatment of the Mk2. A look at the wheelbase and dashboard would have confirmed things either way.
