More Information on this classic A40 Sports:

These rare A40s are rarely seen now. Despite the swoopy bodywork (actually built by Jensen if I remember right) the engine was just the unsophisticated 1200cc engine from the Somerset with twin carbs bolted on. This is a very nicely restored example and has featured in classic car motoring magazines.
