In 1948 Morris Motors took the world by storm with its all new
Morris Minor which brought new standards of refinement to small
cars. Austin. who at the time were arch enemies of the Nuffield
Organisation (owner of Morris) . quickly realised that they needed
their own small car to compete with this newcomer. In 1951 Austin
unveiled its answer to the Minor. the Austin A 30. powered by an all
new 803 cc. four cylinder. OHV engine known as the A-series.
Ironically the A 30's new powerplant found its way into the Minor's
engine bay as the two rival companies merged in 1952 to form BMC
(British Motor Corporation). The A 30 was a much smaller car than
the Minor. its narrower body providing accommodation for 4 people
and came only as a 4 door saloon to start with. In 1953 a 2 door
saloon arrived and from 1954 a Van and estate car known as the
Countryman became available. The little A 30 sold well throughout
its production life despite its odd balance of modern styling and
antiquated rod operated brakes. in 1956 the more powerful A 35
arrived after over 222. 00 vehicles had been built.

This 1955 Austin A 30 has just come out of a large collection. br/>purchased for the wife of the museum proprietor and has had little
use in their ownership. This A 30 is in very good condition
throughout and has been fully maintained and looked after and as a
result runs and drives very well. Finished in the original colour
of black with red interior this Austin A 30 is supplied with a V 5 C
registration document and a Mo T test certificate which will expire
in May 2015. This is a nice. usable classic car which is the
perfect entry level classic as it is a very easy car to run and
maintain.
