On this page we attempt to list most of the post war
Austin cars made. Tables are divided into model, years built,
engine details and owners club. Where appropriate, a URL is given
to the car's home page.
Initially, these will only cover UK models - later, overseas
models will be added. A brief guide to these is, however, given
below.
When writing to an Owners Club, please enclose either an SAE
or sufficient postage to cover the reply!
