Austin A40 Farina. 1958–61 (prod. 169,612). 2-door saloon, 3-door estate. F/R, 948 cm³ (I4 OHV). Smart looking small Austin, with many A35 mechanical components carried over, and sharp new body by Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina. Wider track than predecessor. Countryman, from 1959, an early hatchback, with fold-down tailgate and lift-up rear window, regarded at the time as an estate. Dynamically not as great as the Farina lines suggested, but fairly reliable.
