This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Autumn Sale 2023 on Saturday the 30th of September, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
Launched in 1949, the A90 Atlantic was by far the most flamboyant model in the otherwise staid Austin range
The retro futuristic styling (Art Deco with a rocket age twist) was penned in-house by Ricardo (Dick) Burzi
US-influenced styling cues included five chrome strips running down the bonnet, a built-in centre spot lamp, a 'Flying A' mascot on each front wing, and rear wheel spats
Powered by the same torquey 2. 6-litre four-cylinder that later found fame in the Healey 100/ 4
Part of a large private Collection for many years and received little or no use
The car was purchased from us in 2020 as a non-running restoration project but a lack of time means that our vendor is now offering it for sale
