- In this second installment on getting my late Father's vintage Austin Heavy 12/4 back on the road, the car is moved to AJF Motor Engineers - ajfmotorengine... They are the best guys for this kind of car.
A couple of you said you thought the car is a Turnham and not a Windsor. What do others think?

I learnt to drive on a 1927 Austin heavy 12/4 Clifton, without the optional electric starting! Funny story, I got pulled in Abergavenny, late 60's for speeding in a 60 mph! 😅😅😅 I took the Austin manual handbook to the magistrates court that stated, categorically , the maximum speed to be 47mph! 🤗😀 Case dismissed... 👌
That is a great story! Both you learning to drive in one and a court case that would make good telly! Thanks for watching and do keep an eye out for more on this car.
Old Austins were so GRAND!
They sure are!
Thanks Rob & what a Beautiful car, great you are going to enjoy it for afew months & presumably do a shake down, prior to sale
Thanks Mark. Just need to really get it running, take it to a couple of shows and then hopefully sell it.
Its a Burnam as the Windsor has shorter doors and a sill underneath. The body is Aluminium with steel wings and scuttle.
What a fabulous thing Rob. I like it a lot.
Thank you Simone.
Seeing the more - than - adequate legroom IN THE BACK - confirms it can't possibly be French or German.
Their cars are to this day, a DISASTER in that respect!
Heavy, of course! BUT not steel inthose days - IRON!
Good point!
I think I love this more than Bram. ❤
This car needs a name. We can't keep saying Old Austin!
@@beardsandbangers I don't know enough about them to come up with something witty. 😂
All the weight was on the valve. If the car had been pushed a fraction so the valve wasn't being sat on it wound have been easier to manipulate and pull it out of the wheel. It should have had a ring on the body of the valve to stop it from disappearing into the wheel.
That's good advice! Hopefully one we don't have to follow once the car is fixed!
Is the car a Burnham, or a Windsor? I thought it ws called a CLIFTON. Please explain!
I would say it's a Burnham, which was produced between August 1928 and October 1932. This particular car was register in October 1930. The Clifton was the Tourer (open four-seater).
My late Father was convinced it was a Windsor but the consensus seems to say it is a Turnham. Hopefully getting a Heritage cert for the car will clear things up!
An interesting car , be good to ses it up and running , you know how rapoers have cars in their videos lol , tommy dapper 😂
It would make a good gangster car!
🧙♂️
its a burnham
That seems to be the conclusion
@@beardsandbangers a windsor is a completely a different car shape, altogether upto 1927,gate change gearbox different upholstery all diamond buttoned, this one you have is a late 1929 or even 1930 it has different wings fitted which are on the 1930s model and a ball change gearbox i think iv seen check if there is a car number on the bulk head windsors where 2tc, 3tc, 4tc,saloons this could be 5 tc or even 6tc hope it makes sence
the picture on the paper looks like a windsor
