bullrun Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Rare cars-these were basically hand built by Austin in low numbers. They feature a 3 position top such as larger "Brit" automobiles. The car was being restored by previous owner. Motor was reported to have been rebuilt-It is sitting in motor mounts with hardware hand tight. It is not stuck. Some flaky rust on undercarriage but no rot or rust through, I was told engine had ben rebuilt. Shiny paint on engine block. Leather interior intact. Car is equipped with vacuum operated handicap controls. I was told it belonged to a prominent family from New Hampshire whose daughter was an artist who required hand controls due to a leg handicap. All items not seen in photos is included with car-$5250.00 or near offer. Very unique car at bargain entry level price. I've lost storage space where it is housed. Car is located in Northern Va. 20 miles west of D.C. Call Nick at 703-966-9422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I know of a parts car here in CT, commenting only to enhance possible sale of this one since they are not that common. This looks like a nice start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter S Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Great shot, Terry B. I thought I had this one in very chipped yellow and blue, as a reward for staying out of trouble for a week in 3rd grade. But it's actually an Austin Devon. Peter s.
