Austin Twelve.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Austin Twelve was a popular British family saloon produced from the 1920s through to the late 1930s, representing solid middle-class motoring of its era. Today, these vehicles are cherished classics rather than daily drivers, and prospective buyers should approach them as restoration projects or maintained collector cars. Originality varies wildly, and mechanical components will have been rebuilt or replaced multiple times over decades. Any Austin Twelve you're considering will need careful inspection of its restoration quality, structural integrity, and mechanical fitness.
