This old farmer has kept the engine oiled. It will start. Manufactured by BMC British Motor Corporation, replacement for the Austin A30 and Austin A35 like on Wallace and Grommet, sold next to the Morris Minor 1000, and runs the same 948cc Austin A series engine and driveline as the Austin Healey Sprite and the MG Midget. Parts are shared with all of these so replacement parts are still available here in the USA.
