Vehicle Description
1954 AUSTIN A40 PANEL VAN CUSTOM T-1315 A number of different
automobiles were marketed under the Austin A40 name by Austin
between 1947 and 1967. This particular Austin is a customized panel
van from 1954 that has an American Buick V6 sitting under the hood.
The exterior is finished in a bright Red paint job with hand
painted British Express artwork on either side. A combination of
gray and black comprise the custom interior of cloth and vinyl.
This Austin van is now a very rare sight with not many left on our
roads. This particular van was restored about 10 year ago and has
been cherished by its previous owner and no expense has been
spared. American driveline and running gear components. It has a
Buick V6 engine topped with an Edelbrock Carburetor, Offenhauser
Valve Covers, a Hilborn Style Single Scoop Air Cleaner and an
Electric Fan. This powerplant is mated to a floor shifted automatic
transmission. Some interior features include VDO Gauges wrapped in
a billet aluminum cluster with fuel, temp, oil pressure, and
voltage. Additionally, this Austin also has Power Steering, Tilt
Column, Power Windows, Cruise Control, and AM/FM/Cassette Player.
The upholstery is in great condition and the cargo area with access
via the rear barn doors is unmarked and like new. The Austin starts
by turning the key on the steering column ignition and drives well
with a strong engine and smooth gearbox. Without a doubt a very
popular van of its era with many bought to work hard and
consequently worked to death. With this in mind, examples like this
are now difficult to acquire. The whole concept of purchasing a
light commercial for private classic motoring combined with its
advertising potential is one many have enjoyed for years and proved
to be an enormous success. Without doubt the most economical and
successful form of advertising known to man! Just waiting to be
enjoyed. ***If you are viewing this on Facebook Marketplace, be
