Austin HALF TON VAN for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 352 votes
Van and pick-up versions based on the pre-"Farina" A55 were introduced in 1957. and remained in production until 1973. From 1962 they were fitted with the 1622cc engine and renamed A60. fitted with a wider grille never seen on the Cambridge car. and also offered under the Morris 1/2 ton name. In their final years the van and pick-up were all designated "Morris". following a decision to remove the Austin badge from British Leyland commercial vehicles.

A de luxe A55 with manumatic transmission was tested by The Motor magazine in 1957 had a top speed of 77. 1 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph 27. 0 seconds. A fuel consumption of 31. 6 miles per gallon was recorded. The test car cost £870 including taxes of £291.

The vendor states that this van was purchased by his father. new. in 1962. from Carey and Lamberts in Southampton. His father only had a Provisional Licence so was only able to drive it accompanied. which restricted its use. The mileage of 3700 is certified. an the van is as close to new as it is possible. The only things to have been changed. are the exhaust. service items and the rear brake shoes. Even the tyres are the original Dunlop cross-ply items!
