An Austin Anthology

James Stringer is certainly qualified to write about Austins: he was brought home from the hospital in one, still owns his first car – a 1929 16/6 – and his passion is well-displayed in this collection of stories related to the marque. From the Austin Whippet biplane to a tour of Australia in a 12/4 in 1926, this is a welcome break from the more clinical history lessons that usually make it into print.
