Description

First Registered on 1st September 1951 this vehicle is coming up to 72 years old!

In the competitive field of private hire, the ability to provide the best possible service must be the primary concern for every operator. Thus the dependability, operating economy and comfortable passenger accommodation afforded by the Austin Hire Car was welcomed as the most practical means to the achievement of this aim.

Austin, by virtue of their common sense design and sound workmanship, have always proved eminently suitable for hire work and this model is the result of many years' of the experience of requirements of both passenger and operator.

A lovely, elegant example and a pleasure to drive is this 7 seater limousine with a dark blue and cream exterior and interior.

The 5 seats in the rear passenger compartment are all forward facing with a dividing screen separating you from the driver.

Key and push button start, a Dynamator has replaced the dynamo, (original dynamo included in the sale), this very eye catching vehicle attracts a wealth of admiration wherever it travels reaching speeds of 55mph is common.

It's not concourse but is clean and tidy, ready to use. In fact I have driven it to the Goodwood Revival and back again notching up 750 miles in a weekend using the motorway suffering a puncture and putting the hydraulic jacking system to the test on the M40, and 20 minutes later we're back on the road!

I've had my fun now it's your turn!!

Offers around the asking price welcomed.

Come and take a closer look and a drive, very versatile vehicle.
