Three hundred and ten quid?! What's the chassis like? Cos it looks pretty good on top!

No chassis its a monocoque shell on these baby's. You need to look out for rust on the rear spring hangers on these as well as front floor pans and both ends of the seals, Also the jacking points are prity well guaranteed to have done a vanishing act by now.

the A30 has semaphores, a smaller engine, and the grille is chrome, apart from that I dotn think there is much difference

A35 has a larger wraparound rear windscreen whereas the A30 is a small flat glass window.
A30 has a wobbly magic wand gearstick too.

And: ooooh, bargainous

EDIT: Beaten to it. Nuts...

A30 also has the weedy little 803cc A series as opposed to the A35's monster 948cc.

If this new car is to replace your camper where are you going to put the bed and the sink ?

Good save dude.

I comand thee to finish this one!
Or at least get it on the road.

[PandaSelecta]

Apparently the last time the engine ran was a year ago, so its obvious that the engine will be useless, so the only option i have is the 1275cc

[austinpowers]

Most parts for the little Austins are now available including new headlinings, I joined a local Austin A30/A35 club that has there own spares guy. The club even have parts reproduced as well as a supply of used parts and cars for braking.
