Stretch Omega. Either there are a lot of these shonky piles of shite or this one gets 'sold' a lot.

Not shite at all really but I'm tempted to sell all I own and probably a kidney and buy this.

Morris L getting a bit confused here. Overstates production numbers and I think is wrong about rear light too.

Looking at the Austin Memories website gives correct production figs.

What I did not know was that the bodies for early A30 cars were pressed in Dagenham! Wonderful info! I wonder how built-up they were before they got to Longbridge - parts must have gone by train. Later bodies were made by Fisher and Ludlow in Birmingham. I did not know that Austin did not press their own panels.

The A30 is a nice little car - this example looks to be in 1970's condition when I had one. I had a 35 too - less powerful but the 30 felt slightly more vintage and better made.
