AUSTIN SOMERSET CAR 1952
AUSTIN SOMERSET CAR...1952

this car was later version to Austin Austin A 40 devon that was very popular but with conservative looks. this car  had  certain modifications. Giving at a bit more modern look. the wings were more stream  lined with head lamps. the bonnet was a separate one  that was almost flat while in A 40 the bonnet enveloped half of front grill. The  gear shift lever was mounted on steering column and all brakes were hydraulic. the engine was retained from the previous version.  The car was well received and had its day and the car was produced from 1952 to 1954. a sport version had twin SU carburettors and it increased engine out put slightly and increased the top speed slightly. the streamlined  body give it a slightly different look from the bulky look of A40 ..
