Summary
This US-spec, left-hand drive 1952 Austin A40 Sports, featuring Jensen aluminum bodywork, was recently uncovered after years of storage and is currently in running and driving condition. Showing 81k believed-accurate miles, it retains its original 1200cc four-cylinder engine with dual SU carburetors, though the 4-speed gearbox occasionally pops out of 3rd gear. Originally green and later repainted red, this largely complete example is a good candidate for a rolling restoration.
