The British Motor Corporation introduced the compact Austin A40 in 1958. It was the first BMC car to be styled by Farina of Italy. The ‘’Countryman’’’ version with split tailgate followed in 1959 whilst the MKII with revised grille and larger engine became available in 1961. Production ended in 1967, with over 300,000 having been built.
Affectionately known as ‘’Tubby’’, this 1966 car had one owner from new and covered 83,000 miles before coming to the National Motor Museum in 2001.
