Austin A40 Farina Countryman, 1962, 948cc, 82944 miles.
Starts and drives well.
I bought 'Rosie' in 2019 with good intentions of restoring her. In 2019, she had a full body respray (in places it has started cracking and areas that will need bodywork attention) Unfortunately due to lack of dry storage she has been outside with a quality car cover. The interior needs restoring, I do have all the old interior for templates to restore.
I had very good intentions restoring her, but with a young family unfortunately I just don't have the time, so I'd like to sell her to someone who has the time she deserves.
