Just concluded negotiations on this car this afternoon.
Early 1928 Austin 16/6 Burnham.
Complete and original right down to the original paint.
Had been stored this last 40 years in a disassembled state with the intention of a restoration but the owner is now past caperble of doing it due to age and infirmity so was bought by another VAR member who reassembled and got it roadworthy but he has too many Austin vintages so I was offered it at a price I could not refuse.
So I am happy to say I am now the owner of a larger Austin than my last one.
Judging by the Registration stickers on the window it was last on the road in 1980 prior to disassembly.
My last Austin concourse grade ( sold in 2017) 1934 Austin Ten- Four.
