1955 Austin A30 project to be continued

Welcome to the genuine sale of my 1955 4-door Austin A30

The car is, as you can see from the pictures, a project.

Purchased in 2020 with the plan to restore, I have slowly being working away at its restoration, using a local Austin specialist for engine work and a local body builder for the body work replacement and repairs.

I have recently had a baby and as a result no longer have time or finances to commit to the Austin. It would be ideal to go to someone looking to continue and finish the project or someone looking to break one for parts for their project. As you can appreciate, I have spent a lot of money on the restoration so far and although I understand classic car restoration is not money friendly and although I know I'm not going to get back what I have paid, I would like to try and recoup finances best I can.

Work that has been carried out:
- Repaired panel made for O/ S rear wing and welded in place and fettled – return into door shut not finalised yet until replacement door fitted (replacement door in car)
- Removed O/ S front wing lower section
- Removed rusted sill front end (under wing) once access was permitted.
- Repaired inner panel at bottom of A post/ bulkhead to enable sill end to be refitted, weld in and paint with epoxy primer.
- Trimmed and butt welded new panel into front wing
- Welded in 2 new panels under O/ S front wing to close bulkhead and allow rubber weather strip to be refitted against wing
- Straightened O/ S sill section and jack point, manufacture sill - welded in (approx. 18” section)
- Removed and replaced O/ S inner sill section towards rear wheel arch to enable new sill panel to be fitted and door shut
- Cut out rust and replaced section of O/ S floor (footwell) under pedals and weld to new inner A pillar
- All fresh repairs and replacement panels coated in primer to protect
- Replaced manifold and gasket
- Replaced exhaust
- Fitted alternator/ electronic ignition
- Numerous hose and water pipes replaced
- Replaced choke cable
- Replaced by-pass hose
- Oil change
- New wheel cylinders and brake shoes fitted
- New set of tyres

Some replacement panels have already been purchased and are supplied with the car, as per the pictures

I have listed as much as possible and as you can see by the pictures, this is a car in part-project so would need to be collected using a trailer.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Car is located near Winchester, Hampshire.
