Re: Australian A's
Gooday,
I have an August 28 Australian A tourer ( Phaeton ) it used to have a curtain storage between front and rear seat under the floor but is long gone as this old jalopy sat out in the weather for over 40 years. I am finally in a situation where I can afford to have a go at beginning restoration. Problem I have is all the wood in the thing is completely beyond using, I need plans , diagrams perhaps measurements to begin this mammoth task. Has any one done one of these using Steel? I am pretty handy on both . Would love to hear from anyone in Austyralia or elsewhere that my be able to get me on the right track. Thanks in advance. John Baulch |

Re: Australian A's
There is a Facebook group called "Aussie A Models" as well. Mostly hot rodders, but some restorers.
Parts come up for sale on it, and general chat. There have been recent photos of a roadster being steeled out. Back in the 70's I think there was someone doing a wood kit. A few years ago a new wood floor pan came up on ebay. If you are lucky someone may have a wood kit stashed away they are never going to get around to using. |

Re: Australian A's
I would think the conversion to LHD would effect the value more than it being Australian built. If it were mine I'd be tempted to convert it back. Yes RHD here is a pain but the uniqueness makes it worthwhile. We gave our daughter the choice of 2 Minis we had a genuine freshly restored 1100cc Cooper S or a later Rover one with RHD. She chose the RHD.

The plate has the words "Made in Australia" on it.
