Austin A30
When my Wife & I started stepping out she drove this 1950's Austin A30 whereas I drove around in a Mk 1 Ford Cortina Estate. (Not that it was significant but both were Green with white roofs.)
I discovered this 120 neg of my wife’s motor on the weekend & scanned it with the V550.
This then led to me doing a google on the A30 & came up with this bit of design history
Style and Design
what I didn’t know was the connection with Raymond Loewy Designers as stylists – as with most things in design the history can be fascinating and if only they had kept true to the original concept we would have had a much more stylistic design in the UK for small family cars with far reaching design influences.
