I've dug out the info on the guy with all the A40's, altho I don't seem
to have his name right here:
Name: Austin Works
Street: 229 Third St.
City: Manhattan Beach ST.:CA Zip:90266
Phone #: 213 372-7985
Entry Date: 1/91
Car Makes: Austin
Specializing in 1947-1952 Austin A40, Devon and Dorset models, plus
commerical derivatives.
Now, I'm not sure where a *53* Somerset comes into the picture, but
that ought to be the same series, as the "New" A40's didn't appear
until '57 or so.
