1954 Austin Somerset Project For Sale by Auction

Lot 1011

1954 Austin Somerset
Reg. no. UPH 153
Chassis no. GS4839887
Engine no. 1G949994

The A40 Devon was replaced by the Somerset in 1952, with the new car featuring a more flowing body style and ‘transatlantic’ styling cues. The 1. 2-litre B-Series engine was uprated to produce 42bhp, enough to get these cars up to 70mph. With deeply-cushioned leather seats – separate in the front, and a bench in the back – the car provided comfortable family transport. With the gearchange for the four-speed gearbox column-mounted, the front two seats could also be arranged as a bench, giving seating for up to six. Popular family cars, 173, 000 were sold before the end of production in 1954.
This 1954 Somerset is a very worthwhile project. The paintwork is mostly good, but there are some areas of the bodywork that need attention. The interior is in good original order, and the chassis looks to be solid. The car is not currently running but would be a rewarding project for the winter months. It comes with a current V5C.

Estimate: £1, 500 – 2, 000
