RE: Early Box Saloon Identity - Austin in the Shed - 23-01-2022 Is this one too ?

It certainly looks like one and, judging by the wings and scuttle from the first half of 1930 - that's if the Austin wings were contemporary with Mulliner production? RE: Early Box Saloon Identity - Colin Morgan - 23-01-2022 The interiors were impressive with their wood and leather... this one was late 1929.

Yes wings, etc all contemporary with Austin production. The chassis left Longbridge as a rolling package with wings, bulkhead, running boards and dashboard all stacked on top of a floor pan. There is a standard Austin dashboard behind the wooden facade. The other post showing an interior is I think the car that was broken up just a few years ago.... the chassis was used for a special ! Interiors were leather or Bedford cord, mine is Bedford cord.....

Yes Mike, the photos are of the car you refer to. I still have the same photos in the set I had at the time.

RE: Early Box Saloon Identity - Monsdonnet - 23-01-2022 Circa 1965/66 and with the yellow wheels......... and nerdy owner..... If you could kindly have a look on the back of that photo then I would be very keen to hear what you may find! RE: Early Box Saloon Identity - Hedd_Jones - 23-01-2022 has yours had the scuttle vents filled in?

No.....as I recall after refabricing the body over the winter of 1965/66 I did not refit the scuttle vents until later....can't remember why ! See photo I posted earlier..... |
