Austin A40 Sports @ Earls Court and other Shows

The Austin A40 Sports made it debut on the 1950 Earls Court motor show. Below are some inpressions from my collection of pics.

The same car was shown on the following Geneva Motor show as well. It total Austin seems to have produced 3 motor show cars, for 1950, 1951 and 1952. If anyone knows more about the specs of these vehicles I'd be interested to know, since I do not know of any surviving colour images.

 

Barney Sharratt 2000 shows a picture of a Cap Verde Green car perpared for the 1951 motor show which might be the same os as in the picture while being prepared.
