Sale price: £3,200.00 make an offer

Car location: SOUTHAMPTON, Hampshire, United Kingdom

Seller's notes: Our Austin has been restored since 1983 with history and spares alike. We have just bought a Classic Morris so no more room.Interior needs attention - seats are tatty but will make a great car when fully restored. The body work is mainly solid has been treated for rust previously, rust present in drivers side roof, some other spots but mainly well presented and surface. New stainless steel exhaust and tyres. Has been resprayed and electrics overhauled on 6v system. No battery, was running 1.5 years ago and would not take much to start again. We are looking to sell to the right buyer to bring back to it's glory after slow restoration, we re-chromed all parts and looks a picture when polished up. Great for showing and will benefit from a person who has more time than we have, to appreciate the car.

Austin 8hp 1939
This is a vintage car which has been an ongoing project since 1983 has a history file.  We have decided to let her go - Being replaced by a Morris Minor.  

We have added a new exhaust system hand made in stainless steel.  
Bought new radial tyres and is solid through and through.  
The body work was re-sprayed 10 years ago with 12 coats and electrics have been overhauled.  
Much of boot and doors have been treated with bitumin.  
The chrome has been re-chromed. Rust is only occasional and can be overcome easily - the roof has rust caused by the constant rain. Light paint bubble.
Any rust is mainly surface nothing terminal . photos show areas affected.
Brakes have been restored seals. shoes etc.
The interior is back to metal. we have templates. and many spare parts available.  The engine was running a year or so ago. 6 volt system so needs a battery.
The car itself is a definate head turner and is a pleasure to drive although not quite completed in it's restoration. This will make an ideal restoration ongoing project and will only sell to someone who will take care of it and not just to sell the registration. Would make a good wedding car when restored.
Spare engine available at reasonable price.

Hi, I’m based in Southampton and already own an Austin Eight that is roadworthy. I would be potentially interested in the car, what spares come with it?
