The Austin A40 Devon and the similar two door A40 Dorset were the first post war saloons to be produced by Austin, featuring a mix of old and new technologies, and were previewed by the UK press at the Paris Motor Show on 22 October 1947. The press expressed immediate disappointment at the car's conservative appearance. They were marketed by Austin from 1947 until 1952 and more than 450,000 were built.
