1937 Austin Light 12

Location: Cranleigh

The Austin Light Twelve-Four was produced by Austin from 1933 until 1939. The "12" in the name referred to the taxation horsepower, a British rating which controlled the annual taxation payable to use the car on the road. It was later replaced in 1939 by a completely new car also called the Austin 12, which kept the same engine.

This car has been subject to major body off restoration in recent years. We have photos of the work carried out which is to a high standard.

It drives fantastically - the engine runs like a sewing machine and the gear change is perfect. The brakes are amazingly good, having the added benefit of the Girling set up. The 12V electrics charge and all lights are in working order.

The paint work is some of the best we have ever seen on a restoration, we would happily refer to it as concours and it really is stunning! The interior has been partially restored - the front seats have been retrimmed as well as some panels. Any of the remaining interior is original and in good order.

The roof is in good order and watertight, with full wet weather gear including side screens.

Car comes with a small amount of history and photos and the current V5 is present.

Please feel free to contact us for further information or to arrange a viewing - a walk around video is available that can be shared.
