Austin A35

Before the arrival of the Minor there was the Austin A35. Built between 1956 and 1959 it came as a two or four door saloon and there were even estates, pick-ups and vans.

The Austin A35 was aimed at the mass market, small and simple with an affordable price tag and today it is exactly the same; an affordable classic car.

With its narrow body and underpowered but smooth engine, the car's handling can be a little unpredictable, but this all adds to the driving fun - James Hunt once owned an A35.

 

With its limited luggage space and narrow interior it is not ideal for four adults travelling on a long journey, but that is not what you would be buying an A35 for today. What makes it a great entry into the world of classic car collecting is that its engine goes on forever, however, collectors should check the bodywork out for rust, paying particular attention to the doors, sills and floor and also where the suspension meets the bodywork.

It you are looking for a restoration project you should be able to pick up an A35 for around £500. For £1,500 you should be able to get one that is in a sound, usable condition and if you can stretch the purse strings a little further, £2,500 will buy you one in mint condition.
