Pricey, but....

[Bill Sheehan]

Mike C - How does one get a photocopy of the Sales Catalogue - do you have an original or does the Association?  Grateful for any info.   Cheers,  Bill

Sadly no, I do not have an original copy; Barry Pook has one for sale at the moment, but I don't suppose you'll like his price any more than I do

It is Publication No 508 (dated 1925) if you want to start looking ...

Hi Bill, the association have just finished digitising a copy of 508a which I donated recently and should be on the site soon, cheers russell

Thank you Mike, Ruairidh, Austin, Russell, Tony etc for your great help & assistance on above queries.  R - I was aware of the early wings in the later picture, just thought it had been updated then to the correct ones.  Cheers everyone,  Bill

Well it's his car and he's entitled to his views. Remember, however, this is the guy who says Herbert Austin had a daughter called Lydia.

Came across this whilst searching for the 'other' Spanish Coupe.

I think there is definitely a story in this as to why Ettore Bugatti's daughter rejected the car, and why her dad decided he'd give her an Austin in the first place. Perhaps someone could do some research in the 1920s Daily Mail archives...
