Here is a 1948 Austin 4 door sedan. Not perfect, but inspected and drivable. 
Who know how many miles? Has incorrect sezts (heated power seats from a Mazda), 
but I do have the origionals that need recovering. New brakes and a treasure 
trove of spare parts including: spare engine and transmission (condition 
unknown). full instruments, complete front suspension and steering, and lots of 
misc. smaller parts. New leather interior panels. 1/2 (top) of grill and 
"flying A" hood ortament gold plated. Chrome on grill and hood replated. New 
(incorrect) door handles, inside and out. New tires, but slightly oversized. 
Body, floors and frame solid. 
Not so good is the headliner. It's there and intact but very fragle. The 
sunroof (factory) leaks a little. Some weatherstripping is old and fragle. The 
brakes sometimes "groan"?? But I do intend to look at that soon. The wiring is 
old and ugly but works. Paint job is not the best. 
A very drivable and unique machine that sips fuel. 960cc engine (or 
thereabouts) si kinda underpowered for NH's hills, but will do 70 on the 
Interstate. Garaged all Winter. 
Can be seen in Bristol most anytime. Is ad is still posted, I still have it. I 
really do hate to sell, but way too many vehicles. PLEASE do NOT make an offer. 
The price is absolutely firm and rock bottom. Will be more as the weather 
warms. 
Better photos upon request. Doesn't looks as bad as this photo, but I had to 
shrink the file for CL........Call Pete 744-8284 or cell 566-1944
