1953 AUSTIN ATLANTIC - FOR AUCTION 11TH MARCH For Sale by Auction

1953 AUSTIN ATLANTIC

Registration Number: LDA 903
Chassis Number: 101459
Recorded Mileage: TBA

- One owner from 1953 to 1995
- Subject of older restoration

First registered to a Mrs. Lily Knight of Wolverhampton in June of 1953, originally finished in blue with a grey leather interior, the Atlantic was clearly a much loved member of the household. Amazingly Mrs. Knight kept the Atlantic for a further 43 years before trading the car at 59, 000 miles to respected classic car dealers Hurst Park Automobiles in 1995.

The Atlantic was soon sold to a Mr. Gerard Gannon of Dublin, who restored the Austin, changing the exterior finish to the shade of red the car wears today. During the intervening years we understand the Austin has benefitted from servicing work, a brake overhaul, replacement exhaust, and a carburettor rebuild. Mr. Gannon kept the car for a number of years before ownership passed to our current vendor, joining a small collection of 1950s British classic cars.

Retaining its original engine, this rare 1950s Sports Saloon is offered complete with a history containing correspondence from the original owner, older bill of sale and parts receipts, original service manuals and factory brochures, current UK V5C, copies of previous registration documents, and a number of older MoT certificates.

A rare survivor from a bygone era, this stylish motor car will we are sure prove a popular attendee at classic car events in the summer months.

This motor vehicle will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 11th March 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
