	Austin A 40 Dorset/Devon (1947-1952) history, pictures.
		The A40 retains a central gear lever and renewed experience of this arrangement emphasizes that as a means of changing gear it has not yet been surpassed.
		This latest A.40 saloon has pivoted ventilator windows in the forward doors, additional to the drop windows, by means of which a gentle ventilation can be obtained by an extractor effect, or by using them as scoops a stream of fresh air can be directed into the car.
		All four doors of the Devon saloon open from the rearward edges and it is available with a sliding roof, as on the model tested.

	AUSTIN WORKS - 10,000 Miles in 10,000 Minutes
		The following day, the Austin was so far ahead of its schedule that, one lap before the completion of the 10,000 miles, it halted for nearly twelve hours in order to bring its overall average for the distance down to the required 60 m.p.h.
		At approximately seven o'clock the next morning, this final lap was completed on the right split-second and the Austin had gloriously accomplished its objective of 10,000 Miles in 10,000 Minutes - incidentally, it also set up a new record for that distance as previously this had stood at 58.21 m.p.h.
		Thus, the A40 established five new International Class F records and became the first ordinary family saloon ever to achieve such a distinction.

	Engines: B-series
		Out of the two companies, it was Austin that managed to introduce an entirely new engine for its A40 Devon model.
		By the time of BMC's formation in 1952, this was still very much the engine situation, and it meant that the company had a choice between the Austin A40 engine and the 1477cc Morris unit.
		In 1954, the first three-box BMC saloon was launched; the Austin Cambridge, which employed the B-Series engine in 1.2-litre guise, as well as a newly-enlarged 1489cc version.

	BMC>Rover: The Whole Story - Chapter 1
		The Austin A40 Devon, which boasted independent front suspension and a 1.2-lire engine which was considered to be the direct predecessor to the visually similar and long-lived B-Series engine.
		Austin had no involvement in the US sales of this car when it was launched in 1954, although they did end up selling the car in Austin form in the UK.
		However, with Herbert Austin long since dead it meant that William Morris would be at the head of BMC at the time of its formation, but he soon stepped down as Chairman to become a non-executive President of the company, thus leaving Leonard Lord to call the shots in the Corporation.

		The Austin of England badge as fitted to both sides of the bonnet.
		This one is stamped 51, so dates to a couple of years after this particular A40 Devon was built, at the Longbridge works.
		This plate is set into the bulkhead side, on the passenger side, and seems to be the identifier for the company contracted by Austin to build the bodies (Pressed Steel Co. of Cowley).

	Austin A40 Devon Van (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The basic A40 chassis was used across a number of A40 derivatives - A40 Sports (convertible), Dorset (2dr saloon), Devon Van / Pickup / Countryman / Saloon / Convertible, and went on to be used under the later A40 Somerset's bulbous coachwork.
		All Devons are rare now, and vans are keenly sought after for their advertising potential, even 50+ years after they were built at Longbridge.
		Early Devon vans had the enclosed rear spats over the back wheels as found on the factory pickup, whereas they later went over to this shape of rear arch, reminiscent of the style that would be adopted by the designers of the later A55/A60 commercials.

	Austin A40 Devon - classic Austin built in 1949 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The A40 Devon was powered by an early incarnation of what would become to be known as the B series engine.
		This engine would go on to be used in the later A40 Somerset, and, in various enlarged forms, in cars such as the MGB, Wolseley 1500, MG Magnette, and the many badge-modified variants of the Farina-styled Austin Cambridge, by which time it was up to 1622cc.
		Driving the Devon is highly entertaining, and, even when compared to the Volvo, is a real timewarp experience.

	Austin A40 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A number of different automobiles of the 1950s and 1960s were marketed under the A40 name by the Austin Motor Company.
		Austin's naming scheme at that time derived from the approximate engine output, in horsepower.
		Therefore, the models were also given textual names (originally based on counties of England).

	Austin A40 Devon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The A40 Devon (and similar 2-door A40 Dorset) were automobiles sold by the Austin Motor Company from 1947 through to 1952.
		They were the first post-war saloons to be produced by Austin, and thus were a mix of old and new technologies.
		The Devon was the 4-door version and was more successful than the 2-door Dorset, which was dropped in 1949 after only 15,939 were made.

	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 Austin was much more comfortable at 88 (55), which still required its little four to spin at 3700 rpm.
		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.

		The A40 Somerset was an automobile sold by the Austin Motor Company from 1952 through 1954.

	Mechanical Tips for the Austin A40 Devon
		I slipped up when on holiday in Auss, I found a Devon that was used every day in just about perfect condition only the usual front shockers weak and two bars in the rad cowl broken It was for sale but having no room to park it, I had to turn my back on it.
		When reversing please bring the car to a complete stop before moving off in first gear or you may break an axle near the centre carrier of the diff as the spline was hardened but not the axle.
		When tuning an A40, your distributor, when moving the rpm up/down should be moving back/forwards with the vac advance from engine.

		The Devon proved to be the most popular of the two cars, its four door body being ideal for small families, in fact by 1951 Austin had decided to drop the two door Dorset from the range.
		Other A40 Devon variants were also available including a Countryman estate car, Van and Pick-up as well as a Sports version (see separate entry).
		The A40 Devon was eventually replaced in 1952 by the larger, more bulbous A40 Somerset range.

		The impact of the new Chairman's drive and vision on the fortunes of the Company in the post-war years was to prove decisive.
		In June, 1946, the Millionth Austin was produced, and this car, painted in a matt cream, was signed by the Chairman and the workpeople at a special celebration.

	On British Cars
		About three months later, cruising the Plymouth through the night, I found a 1950 Austin A40 Devon four door on a used car lot.
		It was grey with grey real leather, a sunroof, hydra- mechanical brakes, a four speed with synchro (sometimes) on the top three, and a 1200cc ohv four that BMC eventually developed into the MGA/MGB B-series engine--clearly advanced and superior technical specification.
		High school over, I joined the Air Force and left the tired Austin at home with my father who eventually sold it and used the money, after adding a good chunk of his own, to buy me another Plymouth--this time a `51 (although underneath it looked a whole lot like the `34.).

		The Austin A40 Somerset was launched in 1951 and had a short production run of just two years.
		It was similar in appearance to the smaller A30 saloon car, but was built on a separate chassis unlike the A30 which was Austin's first unitary construction car.
		The four cylinder engine was the same unit that was used in the earlier Austin Devon models, but some improvements had been made to up the power output of it.

		In 1952 Austin launched a facelift A40 to replace the ageing Devon which first appeared in 1947, the new car was named the A40 Somerset, carrying on with the "home counties" name theme.
		The new Somerset was really little more than a restyled Devon, albeit with slightly more power coming from the same A40 1200cc engine.
		Eight months after the saloon appeared, Austin launched an elegant Somerset 3 position, Convertible which sold in relatively small numbers.
