Austin A40 Sports 1951 brochure front page.

Early '50's brochure from my collection. The Austin A40 Sports debuted at the 1949 London Motor Show at Earls Court as a four-passenger, aluminium bodied convertible variant of the Austin A40, carrying an Austin of England nameplate and bearing Austin's Flying A hood ornament. It was designed and manufactured in conjunction with Jensen Motors.
Production began in November 1950 for model year 1951. By the time production ended in 1953, just over 4,000 had been manufactured.
