The A35 are very original, exept he had on incident with the car, where he got hit by another car in a roundabout in Honiton, Devon.

Austin A35 Countryman from 1965

Cute little everyday-use car with 1098 ccm engine.

I got it from Ann as a birthdaypresent and picked it up in Ashford, Kent - UK, in the beginning of september 2005.

Got it on DK-licenseplates 29th. november 2005.

If you need to know how I'm registrating the car on DK-licenseplates, just let me know and I'll give you all the hints I've got regarding customs, certificates, MOT, fees etc.

I have my old A35 Saloon 1957, I got it MOTed in 1985, a couple of months after I became 18. I used 5 weeks after school and refurbished the Austin for ca. kr. 2000,- incl. new tyres, brakes, MOT-fee and licenseplates at kr. 400,-. Right now it's stored and are going to hit the road again next year.

I've bought an A35 Van in Silkeborg from 1958. I was interested in buying it, so I have all models in the A35-series. As said, as done. Last been driven in 1970, so it is a very interesting car to the collection and it is in somewhat good condition...

I've got the two black A35s and they'll be complete refurbished. The one will be carefully originated and the other will be a very special convertible.

I got a dented A30 from Amager, Copenhagen, delivered by Claus Neble in the middle of november. He was going to Samso to pick up an old Morris at the former Ford/Morris/Austin dealer on Samso.

This (maybe) Sandringham Fawn Green Austin A30 Seven is very early, probably produced in april/may 1953. It's an AS3! and 4-doors and have an 803 ccm-engine and 28 HP. I haven't got the V5-document on the car, but are investigating the history on the car.

Now I've got two A70 Herefords, so the only thing I need is a very seldom A70 Hampshire, I know it was imported to DK - at least the CEO of Great Nordic had one in the fifties....
