From the ashes of the failed American Austin Car Company, this company was born on the initiative of Roy Evans and William A. Ward Jr. The company is credited with the invention of the Jeep, although the latter later became a registered trademark of Willys Overland.

This vehicle looks more like an English model than an American one, and the reason is simple: the designer of this car was Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, the original Austin body designer. He designed a completely new front grille, new front fenders, and new rear fenders. The Austin engine was also redesigned with a new aluminum induction system and cylinder head, along with other improvements, making it capable of producing 20 horsepower at 4,000 rpm, a 50% improvement over the Austin engine.

The power is not astounding, but it’s sufficient to move a vehicle smaller than your sofa. In this case, what matters is not speed but style, and this car has it in abundance. Given the limited number of circulating specimens and the level of restoration, we can only imagine how many heads it can turn on the road. In this regard, it seems that this car has won many competitions, as evidenced by the trophies photographed and published in the listing. Find it for sale at $34,995 here in Scottsdale, AZ.
