Austin A40 Devon
The A40 Devon (and similar 2-door A40 Dorset) was marketed by the Austin Motor Company from 1947 to 1952. They were the first post-war saloons to be produced by Austin and featured a mix of old and new technologies.
Austin manufactured more than 450,000 examples before replacement in 1952 by the Austin A40 Somerset.
Austin 1800
Driving down from Lysos towards Polis, just outside Peristerona I saw an old friend basking in the roadside sunshine.
It was an Austin 1800 ‘Landcrab’ – a car design dating from the mid 1960s. I remember well having mixed feelings when a mate turned up in one. What an ugly, supremely comfortable car.
