No I sold the 49 A40. It was built from scrap pieces as usual on a tight budget.
Used it for a few years then ran out of room for other projects. Humber Super, Plymouth, Cortina & Matchless Motorcycle. All sold now except for the A Model & 33 Fordor
My first car at 16 was a 49 A40 and like other mates flogged it for years,never let me down. Everyone seem to have one them days.
