1934 American Austin boat-tailed 2-seater - Tony Griffiths - 02-09-2019
An unusual version - its cylinder head having a cover with the Austin Script along the top face. https://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/d/gilbert-1934-american-austin-boattail/6968771093.html

Indeed, it does have rather fine lines. Will it find a home at $10,000? One wonders....

It is expensive for our market. As its unrestored.
But we have to remember what cars are fetching when restored in the USA.
If anyone wants to view, hershey is only round the corner. And yes there fall meet is coming up.

I was thinking it was a little bathtub-esque, and over short...

Hi jonE,
With it being American, the over short. Could be more like a 3/4 size racer.
The usa had some interesting little track racers.
Tony.
