1928 Austin 12/4 Windsor

Location: Cranleigh

The Austin Twelve is a motor car introduced by Austin in 1921. It was the second of Herbert Austin's post World War I models and was in many ways a scaled-down version of his Austin Twenty. The slower-than-expected sales of the Twenty brought about this divergence from his intended one-model policy. The Twelve was announced at the beginning of November 1921 after Austin's company had been in receivership for six months. The number twelve refers to its fiscal horse power rather than its brake horsepower which was 20 and later 27.

This Austin 12/4 was first registered in Maidstone on the 2nd January 1928, in recent years the car has spent a number of years in Northern Ireland.

The car starts and runs very well and is fitted with a coil conversion . There is no frost damage and all fluids are in the correct places.

The Austin drives superbly and is possibly the best 12/4's we have driven to date, the drivetrain is very quiet, the gear change is direct and the clutch smooth, and the brakes work as they should.

The bodywork is very solid, it is an older restoration and when restored the car was likely not far from concours, the paintwork although finished to a high standard has lifted in a number of areas. If you like character you will be more than happy, if your looking for immaculate its likely not for you.

The interior is very nice, it was retrimmed at the time of the restoration to a high standard and has no rips or tears.

We have the current V5 and some MOT history.
