1955 Austin Other Austin A30
Background check
Description
Meet Gertie! The Austin A30 was known back in the day as a ‘steel teddy bear’.
Was restored by previous owner, thousands spent. She is a real show-stopper – you will be asked about her non-stop.
Unfortunately, after the earthquakes, the roads became too bumpy in our area to drive her and having children changed our car needs. She has been garaged since 2017 and not run at all.
From memory, last WOF needed a part installed in the steering. We have the part to include. Minor scuffs and the odd scratch in paint work.
Has a Datsun motor.
We do not know if she is still going. When she was going, she started every time. Needs someone to give it some TLC.
As Is.
Comes with a folder of paperwork detailing repair history and box of extras from last owner. Paintwork job alone cost $4300
