	CanadianDriver: Motor Memories - Austin A40
		This would soon change, however, and the Austin Motor Co. of Longbridge, Birmingham, was one of the earliest to offer an all-new post-war model: the Austin A40.
		The 1948 A40 came as the 2-door Dorset and the 4-door Devon.
		The A40 arrived at a propitious time because we were still suffering a shortage of new cars caused by the industry shut-down during the war.

	Innocenti Austin A40
		Of course, the car was also widely exported, to countries such as Norway and Sweden, where it was known as the A40 Futura, and even to the USA, where it was quaintly marketed as "The Gayest Economy Sedan Ever".
		But Italy was an important market for BMC to crack, and one from which it had thus far been largely excluded due to a protectionist import policy that saw a high sales tax imposed on cars built abroad.
		The Italian versions were known as the Berlina (saloon) and Combinata (estate), the latter being the equivalent of the split-tailgate A40 Countryman, as sold in the UK and across the rest of Europe.

	Austin A40 Cambridge
		When it arrived, the A40 Cambridge was the third-generation Austin A40, and the first to have been designed under the umbrella of the BMC organization.
		Compared with the superseded A40 Somerset it was new from stem to stem, and there was neither a family likeness, nor many significant carry-over mechanical components.
		Although the A40 Cambridge sold well enough, it was overshadowed by the success of the larger-engined A50 version, and when the time came to restyle the shell for early 1957, the A40 itself was discontinued.

	Austin A40 Farina Mk1 & Mk2 Buying Guide
		Beneath the slick lines of the A40 Farina, introduced in Mk1 guise during 1958, sat standard A35 mechanicals.
		In this guise, the A40 soldiered on largely unaltered til its demise in 1968.
		Probably most desirable on the A40 ladder of greatness is a Mk1 Countryman due to its rarity, though with all A40s condition is everything and variations of model and year mean little when it comes to value in the real world.

	COLLECTIBLE AUSTIN A-40 '47 TO '51
		It was a 1950 Austin A40 sedan, a Devon four-door in less than pristine condition, but to me, it was like finding an old friend in a crowd.
		Austin engineers must have has an deep-rooted distrust of hydraulics and the ability of British-made seals to hold fluid because they "split" the A40 brake system.
		The Austin A40 I found at that British car meet was owned by a family man who had brought his wife and kids to the meet from some distance.

		The Austin Motor Company was a British manufacturer of automobiles that rose to be a major motorcar brand, the dominant partner after merger with Morris in 1952 but declining after absorption into the British Leyland Motor Corporation, and its subsequent troubles.
		With the help of the Seven Austin weathered the worst of the depression and remained profitable through the 1930s producing a wider range of cars which were steadily updated with the introduction of all-steel bodies, Girling brakes, and synchromesh gearboxes but all the engines remained as side valve units.
		Austin were the dominant partner and their engines were adopted for most of the cars.

		Before John got the Austin in 1993 it had spent most of its life in Baralba near Moura, it had spent some 20 years in a shed.
		After September 1949 the A40 Devon's were fitted with quarter vent windows in the front doors The previous A40s had a B shaped bumper with one piece front side windows
		This was a good thing because somewhere hidden away at the end of the Hindes shed is a sad and incomplete Austin A40 Tourer, the Devon was bought as a source of spare parts.

		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).

		Austin's were once again imported to the U.S. starting in the late summer and fall of 1947.
		Austin never put their badge on the Metro (probably a good decision) but chose to market it simply as the Metropolitan 1500.

		The A40 seemed wonderful at the time but, of course, it was a blooming horrible design which, by sheer luck, happened to have a drag factor of only 0.37 - a miracle in those days of "brick wall airflow" design when most cars boasted a factor of 0.6 on a good day.
		A crossflow radiator and header tank from an Austin allegro was used.
		Sadly, I scrapped the A40 on its 21st birthday and transferred the engine to a Vauxhall Chevette.

		The agreement expired in March 1960, but Nissan made the most of those intervening years, to the point where the next generation of Nissan engines were close to being a blatant copy of the Austin A and B series engines.
		Austin were considering taking legal action against Nissan at the close of the agreement, but were convinced by the US government, who still had post-war occupying forces in Japan assisting with re-building the country after the war, not to persue the matter.
		Austin should have been more worried, a mere 10 years later Nissan had become one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, and Austin was dead in the water.

		Sharp at noon on October 6, 1948, an Austin A40 Dorset Saloon left the Ambassador's Hotel in Los Angeles, California.
		Hocevar, who drove single-handed throughout, without sleep and not even stopping for food, sustaining himself on his run from a gallon flask of orange juice carried in the car together with six steak sandwiches.
		Not the least remarkable aspect of the Austin's achievement is the fact that it averaged 30.6 miles per gallon of fuel on its long cross-country hustle.

		The main claim to fame of the Austin A40/50 sedan is that it is the first Austin with a unitary chassis.
		The car was presented in 1954 and two versions became immediately available, one with the old, but modernised 1200 cc engine from the Devon (A40) and the other (A50) with a new 1500 cc engine, fitted with a double barrel Zenith carburetor.
		Power output was still rather low, with 42 and 50 BHP respectively, and even the A50 could not reach 120 kph.

	A40 Farina 1958-1967 - Phil Seed's Virtual Car museum
		Brilliant in appearance and performance, and styled by Farina of Italy this new Austin A40 is a most attractive investment and starts a new trend in motoring fashion.
		Initially low in cost, it is easy and cheap to maintain, but nevertheless built to the same stringent standards that one expects from Austin.
		Other changes were a new instrument panel and other refinements to the interior, such as a winding mechanism for the door windows (on the Mk I you had to lower and lift the window by hand).
