Thanks again Tony
Another very attractive picture. Despite being about the cheapest car on the market the advert is clearly pitched at the middle class, and I suspect not just as a ploy of wishful association. In terms of weeks of a tradesman’s wage not wildly more expensive than an entry level car now, but homes were single income and few waged tradesmen in UK would have had enough discretionary income left over for a car.
And how many persons now dress like that to go out in the car...or go anywhere by any means? Here they blame cold houses for child colds, but I suspect it is largely due the way persons and especially children accustomed heating now dress.
I wonder if the basement door leads to a hoard of Austin parts?
