Another great selection Opti 8-) - I fancied that wee Sunbeam Tiger.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

A lovely selection Optimist

I really love the line up of Austin A30's
One of those was the first car I ever went in during 1957 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Very nice Opti
Lizzie, the first car I ever owned was a dark green Austin A35, I was 17 and it cost me £8! I once had it full to gunwhales with 7 up (people not the drink ) & the exhaust tail pipe dragging a rut in the tarmac!!! Happy Days!

Yes it is too easy to forget the larger engined car that looked very similiar to the A30, but came out as the A35. 

That must have been a lovely car to own as a teenager Phil, as my A40 was at 17 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

An early hatchback.....I believe Lizzie..

A35 van was the first car I actually owned.  Bought for £15 sold for £55.  Needed a valve replacing, new (white/yellow) number plates and some T-Cut (Tetrosyl in those days) and some 'nearly right' paint.

Actually in my avatar right now!

The A40 was a lovely looking car in its day, in fact it wouldn't look that much out of place now come to that!

Mine is preserved forever in concrete under a road on the new Marina at Hartlepool! (Minus its engine which was donated to the local Sea Cadet Unit for Instructional purposes)

Early models came with a 4.2 V8.....latter models had a 4.7 litre V8 lump......just right for your yourself and Mrs Zulu.....

A35 had the bigger back window & maybe the 1098 a series engine as oppose to the 948cc...not sure though!

There's a bit of backround for you Opti.
