AUSTIN A40 MECHANICAL |
The Austin A40 Farina was part of the 'squaring off' of the BMC car range - prior to this they were typically like the Riley Pathfinder and the Austin Cambridge from the 1956 launch range - rounded and organic in shape. The Farina cars all had pointed tail lamps with little pointed vertical fins and roughly square grilles with headlamps in the top corners forming the wing line which follows through the body - they also have very squared-off roof lines.
These are very hard to find at a sensible price, mine is worn and has a window pillar is broken, but the model is just about acceptable overall - as was the price.
