The A30 and A35 are classics that retain a very strong following – and, despite the fact that the Mini and Minor overshadowed the cute car commercially, there are enough fans out there to ensure that it will remain in the classic limelight for some time to come.

Legendary drivers such as Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and, latterly, James Hunt, have all been found enjoying themselves behind the wheel of the Austin A30 and A35 – with certainly the former two enjoying exploring the car’s handling without going near the brake pedal, whatever the speed a bend is attacked at.

James Hunt, famously the owner of a faithful A35 van enjoyed his, although he was well aware of the car’s dynamic – shall we say – foibles. He said: ‘I can put everything I learnt in motor racing into driving it round the Wandsworth one-way system on a wet Saturday night, blow off all the Ferraris and nobody takes a blind bit of notice.’. .....from aroline.co.uk
