Austins in New Zealand

Here’s a few old photos of events involving Austins in New Zealand……..

The very first Austin A30 to arrive in NZ, being unpacked at the Petone, Wellington Austin assembly plant in mid-1952

The Austin assembly plant in Wellington, NZ. The plant built Austins from imported semi-knock-down kits from 1946 till it closed in 1983

This mint MkII A40 Farina was lucky enough to survive both the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes. It was sold shortly after the Kaikoura disaster
