Maybe you can't see it because you are not logged in to Facebook? It has NOT been sold. I could forward your phone number to the seller if you like. or your email. And you could get information directly from the seller, pictures sent, etc. There are no pictures of the engine posted by the seller if that's what you are wondering.

mike6024 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Another English car in New York area. 1964 English Austin FX4 London Taxi - $1,800 (Cornwall Bridge) - $1,800 (Cornwall Bridge CT) The iconic London taxi. This one drove to where it has been parked for many years. It is quite rusty underneath and some rust elsewhere. Front floors are pretty much rusted out (see photo). There are probably other issues as well. I know it needs new headlights and tires. The windshield is cracked, but it's flat glass so an easy job for any good automotive glass shop. The heavy frame is quite sturdy. The engine turns with a wrench on the crankshaft nut. Haven't tried it on the starter motor but I would guess it will crank over. 06705 on the odometer. 2178cc. Austin diesel engine, four speed transmission. This would be great as an eyecatcher in front of a pub or other business with a quick coat of paint on it. I suppose it could be restored as well with a good bit of work. The meter (in pesetas for some reason) is not connected. Bill of sale only. No title on Connecticut vehicles older than 1990. I can deliver this for $1.50 per one-way mile, or help load it on a truck. https://newyork.craigslist.org/que/cto/d/cornwall-bridge-english-austin-fx4/7429998143.html 90ae7c74015e3d48861764c7c1582cc7@sale.craigslist.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Here's a bunch more English cars ' https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/d/fresno-selling-large-classic-car/7432006228.html This is a rare opportunity to purchase what we believe to be the largest collection of classic Austin's in the United States. These cars are the result of a lifetime of collecting. They have been imported from England, Australia, Canada, the UK and have also been purchased from here in the states. They've been stored for decades inside a warehouse in Fresno and have recently been discovered. There's about 30 vehicles ranging from 1947 to 1954 and thousands of good parts. This is a once in a lifetime chance to purchase the entire collection and begin a new chapter restoring, selling and enjoying these cars! The price will include the 10,000sf warehouse until 12-31-22 so you have plenty of time to sell the collection car by car or to get started in the restoration business. You'll also have a huge parts inventory to sell and use towards your own projects. We have the cars listed on a website called rareaustins dot com for more detailed pictures. This is a local deal so we are open to offers and interesting trades. 1948 Austin A40 Dorset (3) 1949 Austin A40 Dorset (1) 1952 Austin A40 Sports (aluminum body convertible) 1948 Austin 40 Devon (1) 1950 Austin 40 Devon (2) 1952 Austin A40 Pickup (2) 1950 Austin A40 Ice cream truck 1954 Austin A40 Ice cream truck 1948 Austin 40 Countryman 1950 Austin 40 Countryman 1953 Austin 40 Countryman 1947 Austin 40 Panel 1949 Austin 40 Panel (2) 1952 Austin 40 Panel 1953 Austin 40 Panel 1952 Austin 40 Woodie 1953 Austin A70 Saloon 1950 Austin A70 Countryman 1950 Austin Atlantic A90 (2) 1950 Austin Atlantic A90 Convertible (2) 1951 Austin Atlantic A90 1952 Standard Station Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelPearson Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Thanks for all the images, folks. It is nice to see such a collection of British cars in the United States, mostly in left hand drive! Note that the "Austin Ruby," shown by Mike in the first 4 posts, is actually an Austin Seven. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_7 Ruby is the variant - a late model saloon. The Tourer (open top) was the most popular model. Here is a supercharged, nitro-methane fuelled, race car version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 That's an amazing collection of A40's and A90's. Doesn't seem to be any prices. I doubt any will be realistically priced. They probably paid about what any sensible person would pay and are now trying to double their money. A90 converts can achieve quite high prices but these ones all look fairly rough. For years I had a notion that a A40 Sports would be interesting. But the right deal never presented itself. These days they cost more than I feel they are worth. And only a small handful remain local to me. By the time you factor in transportation there are better cars for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
