Thanks for the opportunity to join this forum. I have a long romance with British cars going back to infancy. When I was two years old, my dad bought a 1948 Austin A40 Devon. Later he joined the Four Cylinder Club of America and participated in rallies. I often accompanied him on those rallies. Later. He bought a 1960 MGA, a car which I now own. As an adult, nostalgia led me to buy three Austin A40s, a 1947 Dorset (recently restored,) a 1951 Austin A40 Sports (also recently restored,) and a 1948 Austin A40 Devon (now being restored.) My first car, bought at age 15, was a 1951 Austin A40 Devon. I have an internet group for enthusiasts of Austin Counties cars. In addition to the Austin A40s. I also own a 1958 Bugeye Sprite. In the past, I've owned three Morgan Plus 4s.
 
wow, not just British Car but obscure British cars! (and of course British cars made out of wood :D )

glad you are here and would love to see pics - especially the Sports - there was one for sale in my club a few months ago - too far away but I still dream of it
 
Here is a photo of the Sports

Great looking cars! you must stand out at any cruise night or show. We do have a few forum members who drive 'county' cars. But I remain intrigued by the Sports. Such a cool and unusual car that is both sporty and not sporty at the same time. To my mind a lot like the the Atlantic - a car Austin though Americans wanted without really having a clue what Americans wanted.

Great cars!
