British Austin A40 Sports
The Austin A40 Sports was introduced at the 1950 London Motor Show at Earls Court [1] as a four-passenger, aluminium-bodied convertible variant of the Austin A40 – carrying the Austin of England monogram, bearing Austin's Flying A bonnet mascot hood ornament; designed and manufactured in conjunction with Jensen Motors and prioritizing touring comfort over outright sportiness. Production of the A40 Sports began in November 1950 for model year 1951. By the time production ended in 1953, just over 4,000 had been manufactured.
