Kim Henson writes… If you own, or are considering buying, an Austin A30 or A35, this book may be of interest, and helpful, to you…
My A30/A35 book (Enjoying Your Austin A30/A35) is available direct from me.
I wrote and published the book in 2004, and it can still be purchased direct from me if you wish, and until the end of December 2025 is on special offer… This is an unused ‘new old stock’ item, one of my own remaining copies and straight from the box.
The discounted price for U.K. buyers is £25.00 including free ‘Royal Mail Tracked 24’ postage and packing (Normal Price £25.00 plus £5.00 postage and packing, totalling £30.00 for UK buyers). (For sending overseas, please contact me for post/packing costs).
Please note that this book, completed and published in 2004, has never been revised nor reprinted; this is the original, authentic and only edition. It took me six years to write and was a labour of love, based on years of first hand experience with these Austins.
Widely regarded as a ‘definitive’ book about the classic British Austin A30 and A35 cars, containing historical, technical and maintenance information, as well as sections devoted to the sheer fun of owning these diminutive but big-hearted, friendly Austins.
IDEAL PRESENT for someone else or to buy just for your own interest/enjoyment. ‘Accessible Classics’ – No. 1 – Austin A30/A35; ‘Enjoying Your Austin’ – This is a new, unused, ‘out of the box’ copy of the first, Collector’s Edition of the well-received ‘Enjoying Your Austin’ book on the A30/A35, written by Kim Henson.
The hardback book (with colour throughout) is 224 pages long and contains over 430 photographs. It has received a multitude of enthusiastic press reviews, and those who have already bought copies have spoken highly of it.
The all-colour book, which was written in a ‘user-friendly’ style, for enthusiasts by an enthusiast who for many years has been passionate about these cars, was produced using very high quality ‘heavyweight’ materials. It was deliberately written, printed and published in England; indeed it was entirely ‘Made in England’, just like the cars to which it relates.
It contains comprehensive information in separate chapters on:
- History, specifications and performance.
- Character, driving and practicality.
- Buying.
- Maintenance/looking after your vehicle.
- MoT Test.
- Rustproofing.
- Modifications.
- Enjoying/having fun with your Austin.
- Restoration stories to inspire.
There are also three ‘Appendix’ sections:
- Identify your car. 2. Specialist suppliers. 3. Contemporary rival models from other manufacturers.
(ISBN: 0954762908)
An ideal companion for your Austin A30/A35, or to read about these cars before you buy one. Either way, ‘Enjoy Those Austins’!
If you buy a copy I hope you will find it useful and enjoyable too.
Stop Press: I also have one copy available of my previous, smaller book on the A30/A35, in the Haynes ‘Super Profile’ series and written/published in 1984. By contrast with my more comprehensive ‘Enjoying Your Austin’ book (details above), this one is not a new, unused copy, but in good condition. The price is £20.00, including UK postage and packing.
