The Appeal
The Austin Chalfont is a rare survivor from the mid-1930s, a period when Austin was producing dependable, well-engineered saloons for the discerning British motorist. With its 2,107cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox, the four-door Chalfont offered a refined and capable driving experience for its era, and today it represents an increasingly scarce piece of pre-war motoring heritage.
This privately owned example has been garage stored, helping to preserve its condition across the decades. The vendor describes it as a lovely vehicle and a delight to own, noting it presents in very good condition for its age with only a few blemishes as one might expect of a car now over 90 years old.
