The Austin A40 launched in 1947, with several different models coming to market over the following years. But, perhaps one of the best known variants was the A40 Farina debuting in 1958. As is stated by the name, this, A40 was the result of a remodelling by Italian designer Battista Farina. It remained in production until 1967, with a few variations. The mk2 (1961) had a slightly longer wheelbase, but was also given a larger engine in 1962. It was the same 1098cc A-series I4 fitted to the (contemporaneous) Morris Minor and Austin/Morris 1100 series (ADO16). This mk2 A40 Farina was registered in June 1964.
