A friend used plain mild steel for his tank (not an Austin) with seams welded and brass fittings riveted and soldered. The tank was treated with sealant, which as it was new raw steel adhered very well, and is still doing well 10 - 15 years later. Obviously this isn’t 80+ years later, but....
I have followed this route with the tank for my Delage....well see how it lasts!
One route that I was looking at was forming the individual sections, then getting them tin plated (there are a couple of companies in the midlands who do this) and finally forming the joints and soft soldering...May be another option.
