Serious enquiries only, please. I bought this Austin A40 Farina because it represents a true slice of British motoring heritage — a time when cars had real character and charm. I’ve always admired the Farina’s unique styling, with its Italian design influence blended with classic British practicality. It stood out to me from the moment I saw it — you don’t see many of these on the road anymore, let alone one in full working condition, ready to drive and show.
What makes this car truly special is how it bridges eras — it was one of the first hatchback-style designs before that even became a thing, and yet it still has that nostalgic feel of the '60s. It’s compact, quirky, and effortlessly cool.
My favourite thing about it? The way it makes people smile. Whether it's at a show or just out for a Sunday drive, people always stop, ask questions, and share stories. It brings back memories for many, and that connection is something modern cars just can’t replicate.
