Car parts catalogue AUSTIN: parts and accessories

Austin is a car manufacturer created in 1905 in Great Britain. Its founder was Herbert Austin. The company produced passenger cars in various price segments. In 1952 the company became a part of British Motor Corporation. Nowadays, the rights for the trademark belong to a Chinese enterprise SAIC Motor.

Austin cars

Initially, luxurious vehicles were produced under this brand. However, in the course of time, the company also began producing small, affordable cars, intended for the mass market. They opened a way to significantly cut expenses for their owners, which made them extremely popular among British motorists: the amount of vehicle tax in Great Britain depended on engine parameters. Thus, as of 1930, annual tax fees for owners of model 7 were only £8.

The model range of the brand included saloons, estate cars, convertibles, hatchbacks, vans. Diana Spencer was amongst famous owners of cars of this make.

The advantages of cars of this make

• Fuel-efficiency. Particularly, the legendary model – Mini – was created after the Suez Crisis, out of which arose the pressing need to reduce fuel consumption. The brand’s novelty fully complied with this requirement.
• Compactness. Small, yet spacious cars were repeatedly produced under this brand. Thus, Metro became the successor of the small Mini. Its length was 3400 mm, width – 1550 mm, height – 1360 mm. During the first years of production, this vehicle was top-selling in its segment in Great Britain.
• Innovation. For instance, transverse engine mounting was an unusual solution for its time. Such design helped to find the balance between compactness and spaciousness of the car.
