Austin - Vintage 1934

"If I were a rich man....", I would buy this little beauty and restore it. The man is asking twenty-five hundred dollars for it. His story includes it being the car that the Beatles made an album cover hanging out of it. (See Poochdad's comment).
If anyone can verify that, please let me know. I would love to see the album cover.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Me thinks he's bending the truth a bit. Must be some obscure album.

That would be a head turner going down the highway up here. Looks like it's in great shape, and the price is terribly low, something must be wrong mechanically.

Maybe he meant it's the same KIND of car. It sure would be fun to have.

Sounds like a tall story to me! This baby's a long way from home. I think it is an Austin 7 which was the British 'Model T'. There are hundreds preserved here. It would be fun if frustrating to own!

What a catch! I'm tempted . . . but I know better. I can become an impulse buyer very easily in these situations.

Hope you told him you want a finders fee if a Pbaser calls and buys! Nice find Coleen!

Kept it's look in original...what a beauty!

What a great find and car...if that is the car on the Beetles albumn, then it was previously restored at some time. For some reason I'm doubting that as it looks like the original vehicle. Love the find. I wouldn't mind owning it!
