    What a credit to this guy for maintaining this car in such immaculate condition . The very first car that I was in as a child . My father had one back in the 1960's . Loved it .

      Yes I really appreciate this guy for the love and care he has given for decades. Nice to hear that you too had the same model. Cheers!

    My first car was an identical 1946 Austin 10 and my father bought it for me in 1964 when I was 18 & paid £29 for it. I live in the East Midlands of England, and loved it and kept it many years. It was no trouble except the factory fitted, sunshine roof leaked a bit over the passenger!

    Thank you so much for this video. It’s a joy to see a one family survivor car in continuous use since 1946!

      Thanks. And yes it’s amazing indeed that this car has stayed with a family for so long. Cheers!

    I really enjoyed this video as there was a derelict Austin 10 in the driveway of my next door neighbour when I was a little boy. That car sparked my interest in old cars from the 30s + 40s. Lovely that it's a one family car.

    Lovely old, no frills car with mechanical brakes. My parents had a 1947 car here in England in 1963 and we went everywhere in it, but it was prone to head gasket failure.
    Climbing steep hills in The Forest of Dean was a challenge because if we couldn't get a fast run we'd start rolling backwards with cars swerving to avoid us, but as a 8yo boy I loved it and still remember the registration number. A check with DVLA shows the car no longer exists which is a tragedy because now I'm in a position to buy it back!

    Just came across this video, car is a testament to proper care and maintenance, absolutely beautiful.
    In England the turn signals were often referred to as "trafficators" or "semaphores".
    I hope the car makes it another 75 years. Good luck to the car and it's owner. Very interesting, thanks for posting.

    I came across this video by chance. What a refreshingly original car. Just hearing the nearly silent engine was utterly joyful. I am in a similar situation as the owner of this Austin. I am the custodian of my grandfather's 1947 car who bought it new and then my father used it daily for office and now it is with me. Our ownership story is almost identical.

      Yes! Looks like lubrication was a top focus area those days. There are multiple places in the car and in the owners manual where the importance of periodic lubrications is stressed upon. Cheers!

    A very common site when I was a kid, early post War. Living quite lose to the Austin Works in Birmingham. Such a 'moderrn' yet Conservative design by comparison with my dads pre -war model.

    Austin become part of Layland and then when Layland went bankrupt in the 80s it was absorbed into Rover, but Rover ceased production in the early 2000's...
    Perhaps Austin went away from India after independence?
