AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
1948 Austin A40 Devon in very good condition. This unit was originally sold in Portugal. It shows an old restoration and is currently very well preserved. Includes CPAA Certificate (FIVA). The Austin A40 Devon, launched post-war in 1947, was a crucial model for the economic salvation of the Austin Motor Company and the United Kingdom itself, becoming a great export success thanks to its 1200cc OHV engine which was quite reliable for the era. Interestingly, the name Devon came from Austin's tradition of naming its passenger cars after English counties.
BODYWORK AND PAINT:
In very good condition, featuring a beautiful two-tone brown combination. The chrome parts are also in very good condition. Old paint but in good condition.
MECHANICS:
In very good condition, the car is ready to be enjoyed. Recent mechanical overhaul of the engine and brakes. Only some play in the steering.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
