Friends of the Austin Counties Cars (Yahoo Groups)
As described from their homepage:
“This is a global group of dedicated Austin enthusiasts. Many own
restored vehicles, whilst some are plodding along on restorations. Whatever the
state of your car (if you have one) you are welcome regardless. You don’t
even have to have a car at all; it’s just the interest that counts!
Many of us have Austin County model cars. These are the Austin cars named after
Counties in England. They include, among others, the A30, A35, A40 Devon, A40
Somerset, A70 Hereford, A70 Hampshire, the Atlantic and the A40 Sports... Are
there any we have forgotten??? Is so, let me know about it. Anyway, we cover
all these models - and more!
We are interested in all cars that fly the Austin banner!
Anyone is welcome to join; only please keep it clean and green!
If you have had some adventure with your car, or have some story to tell about
your restoration efforts please let us hear of it.
If you have photos, you can load them to the photos section and place them into
a folder with your name on it. If the moderators find some that are suitable
for the homepage, well, you may be pleasantly surprised one day.
Do you have something to sell? Have you been looking for that "hard to
get" part for simply ages? If so, this group has a "Parts For Sale" section.
PLEASE NOTE: When you go to join, you have to follow the prompts. Please could
you write a short note about yourself, your cars and where you’re from,
(which country etc.) as some folk are joining and we cannot tell who they are. We wish to keep this group safe for all of us.
Have a happy day. :-)”
