Austin A30 Racecar for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 424 votes

This A30 was originally modified to comply with the rules for Historic group NA racing. however it has never been scuitineered and only started a few times a year. My kids are interested in "modern" cars so we are going to begin a new 1990's project car once the little Austin is gone.

It has had most things done to it that you can legally do to an A30. however. there may be a few mods that are open to interpretation!

Basically it has all Austin Healy Sprite running gear.

Competition springs and shocks and lower control arms on the front. Front sway bar included but never fitted.
Rebuilt 998cc engine with single 1 1/2 SU carby and custom ceramic coated extractors. 3/4 race cam quite lumpy at idle. Can Rev to 7000+ but no need. change at 6000 to 6500. Electric fuel pump and filter in boot.
Single small muffler so it sounds like an angry Chainsaw!
Gearbox (smooth case) completely rebuilt with all new components/ratios from a mk3 Sprite which connects a rebuilt 3. 9 ratio diff.
New solid axles and new wheel bearing and seals fitted.
Front brakes are refurbished 8" drums from an Austin A40 with hydrolic rear 7" drums from a Sprite.

Radiator completely rebuilt with modern core but retains A30 header tank. Also added a Sprite expansion tank. New radiator cap & hoses.

Not sure if many people know about Speedwell Tuning Company from the 1950's. Graham Hill was Speedwell's foreman and then Chairman. The taco. oil and tempersture gauges are all genuine Speedwell. sourced at great expense from Europe. Also the grill Speedwell badge is custom made and the wheels centres. horn button and gear knob are reproduction stickers.
Currently has Cooper S speedo fitted as my daughter was going to drive it as her daily ride (Mother wouldn't let her) Original A30 speedo included in sale.
Wheels are mini lite with Yokohama Avant 800 with less that 500 klms on them.
Upholstery is in good condition as you can see in the images although the driver's door card has warped a little.

NSW rego expires in November however. there are a few items that needs repairing before it can be re-registered as I noticed the horn and blinkers don't work.

The plates are included in the sale.

Car is located in Batemans Bay NSW 2536.


Thanks for looking.
