The Model: Introduced in 1956, the Austin A35 replaced the popular A30, showcasing advancements in power and design. Powered by a robust 34 hp A-Series inline-four engine, it boasted improved performance, including a higher top speed and better acceleration. The A35 retained the iconic aesthetic of its predecessor but featured a larger rear window aperture and a painted front grille with a chrome horse-shoe surround. Noteworthy changes included the replacement of semaphore turn-signal indicators with modern flashing lights.
