Delightful! Is that what they call a Kempton?

More or less! It was called the Greyhound in 1934, renamed Kempton for 1935.

The correct number of cars is always determined by the formula N + 1 where N = the current number of cars owned...

I think you will find the name change became necessary following objections by AC Cars who were already using the name Greyhound.
There are only a handful of them left but I suspect the total production numbers were pretty low anyway.

I've always liked the Ten Ripley too. Similarly elegant. Strange that the grasshopper style grille appeared on so few cars; in every other respect Austins always seemed so strict about having the same "look" throughout the range.
