Ad on the internet. Seller says it is a 1949 but the year seems wrong. There are more pics in the link - click on them to enlarge. The grille says prewar I think.
How can you see what type Austin this is. The body looks standard Austin to me. A Sixteen, Eighteen or maybe Twenty? Note no edges to the front and rear wings. Pressed wheels would suggest 1937 or later?

I suggest it is an Austin 14 Goodwood from mid 1938 |

Late 30's possibly 1938, Austin 18/6 Norfolk, is my suggestion. _________________ 1953 Citroen Traction

It's very difficult to tell from the photos but think on balance the 14/6 Goodwood is more likely than the 18.

As far as I am aware the main external difference is in the length of the body. The width and frontal frontal views are the same even down to having a maximum of 26 vertical slats in the radiator cowl. Both models had two two "door" type vents in each bonnet panel and both had a divided rear window. |
