The 948 cc engine of the A40 Farina was replaced in the autumn of 1962 by a larger 1098 cc version with an output of 48 bhp. A Mark II was tested by The Motor in 1962. At the end of 1962 the introduction of the similarly sized Morris 1100 left the A40 looking cramped on the inside and outclassed in terms of road holding and ride, and sales of the Mark II progressed more slowly. The Morris 1100 had appeared that year.
