Austin A40 Farina - Rally success at the start of the series

May 14, 2021 — Bruno von Rotz 56

The Austin A40 was a surprise in many respects. The bodywork by Pininfarina was a far cry from the tradition of the British manufacturer, the naming took no account of British sensitivities and the compact two-door even excelled in motor racing with a success at the 1959 Monte Carlo Rally. Perhaps the most famous A40 has survived and is the subject of this report, which is illustrated with current and historical images and a selection of sales literature.

English car in Italian dress - Austin A 40

July 13, 2012 — Horst Zeuch 20

With the Austin A 40, the English manufacturer broke with the conservative island tradition, at least according to the magazine 'hobby' in 1959. The A 40 combined the advantages of a station wagon with those of a small car and with an astonishing amount of comfort. This report reproduces the original wording of the driving report at the time and shows the car in many archive photos.

Comparison of the 1500 mid-size class - BMW against VW, Opel, Peugeot, Lancia and five other sedans

April 3, 2015 — Heinz Kranz 100

At the end of 1962, the magazine 'hobby' carried out a major comparative test with eleven saloons from Germany, France, England and Italy. In a tough competition, hot-blooded family sports cars had to be compared with utility saloons designed for comfort. The fact that a German representative won was not a matter of course, as places 2 to 4 went to "foreign countries". This article reproduces the original wording of the report at the time and shows all eleven sedans compared in many archive photos.
