A 1936 Austin 12 Ascot Saloon, Registration No. EY 5523, finished in maroon and black, the V5 shows that she was first registered on 22/02/1936 and was at that time recorded as being finished in black. 1,344 cc., Chassis No. H 29373, Engine No. TH 29541. Currently showing 59,332 miles (Not warranted correct). She was acquired by the family on 17/08/1986 from the Fareham area. The Information Folder includes a brown log book, various correspondence with the Department of Transport regarding a number plate that had previously been allocated being USV 669, a photocopy of an Austin Ten Drivers' Club mail order Spare Parts catalogue, books including Pitman's Motorist Library - The Book of the Austin Twelve (reprints 1952 & 1958), Hardback "The Austin Light Twelve-Four" (1159 C) and Austin Light Twelve Four - List of Spare Parts (1213 A). This car has been beautifully professionally re-upholstered in tan hide and appears only to require detailing to the trim and to the sunshine roof to make her very presentable. This is the first of the cars that we awoke from their slumbers and she runs very nicely. A new 12 volt battery is fitted.
