Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Autumn Sale 2023 on Saturday the 30th of September, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
The majority of A70 estates were built by Papworths of Cambridge with barn doors at the back, however this example was finished with an attractive tailgate
Powered by the robust 68bhp, 2, 199cc, OHV engine from the Austin 16 with a 4-speed, column change, manual gearbox
This charming Woodie was exported to Canada and covered around 50, 000 miles before returning to the UK in 1988. The odometer now shows 24, 271, so may have been replaced
It was carefully restored around that time and converted to right-hand drive. The engine was fully rebuilt along with the transmission brakes and suspension
Part of two Private Collections up until 2020 and little, if ever, used.
Purchased by our vendor and further enhanced by having the rear tailgate rebuilt with Ash, the roof lining structure replaced and the car superbly detailed
Supplied with an in-depth history file including photos of all the restoration works completed
Out of 901 examples of the BW3 Countryman built, we understand that only seven survive
