Austin A40 Farina (Mark II)

An A40 Farina Mark II was introduced in 1961. The 948 cc engine was replaced in the autumn of 1962 by a larger 1098 cc version with an output of 48 bhp, and in 1964 a new fascia with imitation wood veneer covering was fitted. This version of the model remained in production until 1967. The introduction at the end of 1962 of the similarly sized Morris 1100, followed by an Austin badged counterpart a year later, left the A40 looking cramped and outclassed. Its model years run from 1961 to 1967.
