A 1930s Austin Showroom - the full picture.

[Mark McKibbin]

It is interesting looking at these decidedly Vintage looking cars to think that in the same year Citroen introduced the Traction Avant with monocoque construction, OHV engine, front wheel drive, independent front suspension and virtually no oil leaks, a year later they also went to rack and pinion steering and 760,000 units made with the war in the middle. Whereas Austin was basically making the same cars they had been making since the early twenties. Although for the hobbyist they are both great cars in there own ways.
