  Austin A35 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A35 was a small (compact) car sold by the British Motor Corporation under the Austin marque in the 1950s.
The A35 was very similar in appearance to the A30, except for a larger rear window aperture both had 13-inch wheels, as well as a painted front grille in place of the chrome grille featured on the A30.
The A35 passenger cars were replaced by the new body shape A40 Farina models in 1959.

 Austin A35 Saloon - Motorbase
The A35 used a larger A-series engine of 948cc as found in the new Morris Minor 1000, this new powerplant gave the little Austin good performance for its class and even led to some Saloon Car Racing successes during the mid-50's.
The A35 now featured a larger front grille (with painted slats instead of chrome), a larger rear window, remote control gear-change and also flashing turn signal indicators to replace the semaphore trafficators used on the A30.
The A35 proved to be popular with the car buying public although it soon dated after the launch of the new Mini range in 1959.

 British Motor Manufacturers 1894-1960, Austin
Austin was in severe difficulties by 1921 and the situation was not helped by the introduction of the Horsepower Tax in that year.
Austin was so keen to continue with the small car that he threatened to sell the concept to the Wolseley Sheep Shearing Machine Company, where he was still chairman.
In 1952 an agreement was reached with Metropolitan and the American styled Austin Metropolitan (sometimes known as a Nash or a Rambler) was produced using the A40 engine and A30 suspension in either an open or closed body shell.

 Car-derived vans/pick-ups
For many years, the small and medium-sized Austin and Morris vans produced by BMC were almost as familar a sight on British roads as the cars on which they were based.
While the A35 saloons were replaced by the Mini in 1959, the van soldiered on, with a MkII version (type AV6) being launched in 1962, identifiable by its white radiator grille and less-fussy door skins.
Logic may have suggested that the Austin A55 pick-up would be superceded by a Farina-style model, but in the world of commercial vehicles, there was often little incentive to replace a tried and tested model purely for cosmetic considerations.

Austin A60 Vans and Pickups were made for many years until the dawn of the Morris Marina Van and Pickups in about 1973, but these use the pre-Pininfarina body of the Austin A50 circa 1955 (depicted in the picture here).
But the Austin benefited from 10years of development since the Morris Minor was born and was therefore a much more modern car.
In about 1963 the Austin A40 was facelifted (with full width grille bars) and given the 1098cc engine at the same time as the Morris Minor.

 The Famous Sports Car Company of Austin
Their 2,200cc four cylinder engine, the Austin 16HP unit from 1945, was to be used in the Austin-Healey 100 from 1952 to 1956.
The A30, A35, Sprite, Midget, etc, `A' series engine found its way into front wheel drive saloon cars, and in 1962 the Austin 1100 was also a well handling, nippy little car that was produced in M.G. twin carb form, both later growing to 1275cc.
Yes, "The Austin Sports Car", perhaps not a title that comes to mind immediately, but there is a great deal of `The Austin' in many of the sports cars produced from 1950, in the Jensen, Healey, M.G., and many smaller specialist makes.

However, not all A35 organs were conducive to seat-of- the-pants driving, so the rack-and-pinion steering came from the Morris Minor and the brake and clutch master cylinders from MG.
Austin launched the new sports car in 1958, at pounds 660 including purchase tax.
Sprites were made until 1971 (the last few badged simply as Austins rather than Austin-Healeys, in a petty row over royalty payments between Donald Healey and BMC successor British Leyland) but the Midget lasted until 1979.
