My daughter came into the house saying she'd just seen an interesting old car with numberplate OAD 24 with a winged bonnet badge - could I look it up? I'd noticed that there was an Austin A30/A35 owners' day near our house and recalled the winged Austin badge, so I decided to open the Wikipedia page on the A30. "Yeah, that's the car" she said.

Look at the numberplate of the car in the picture... spooky...

Probably the only one left! The Morris Minor was far better handling car due to its wider track and better brakes despite the torsion bar front suspension. Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis again.

Funny how design repeats itself.......check out those swage lines.

I know where there's a 'barn' stored A35, he'd probably take a grand if it's of any interest to someone?

It's no coincidence. MB are trying (perhaps unsuccessfully) to recapture the elegance of the Adenauer, whose lines were typical of its era and could be seen on many cars right up to the 1950s.

First car in our household when I was a kid. Dad and his mate both had one - we were the lucky ones as ours was fitted with an optional extra - a heater!

I learned to drive in one of these. Sunday evenings at Brassie beach in Ayrshire. I would have been about eight years old.

My aunt used to have an A35, some years later I had an A40 Farina which was it's successor.

Former F1 World Champion James Hunt drove an A35 van as he enjoyed its entertaining handling characteristics.
