Austin A30 A35 owner interviews (Mark Stokes and Alex Menzi)

Another one taken from VHS, young owners talk about their Austin A 30 and A35, its nice to see the younger generation getting involved with classics.
Note the indicator switch high up on the centre of the dash, not self cancelling , actually i have one of those switches in my Austin 7 for the trafficators, i was unable to get the proper one. The A30 was originally called the new Austin seven as were early Austin badged mini,s......since posting I have found out the chap with the green A35 is Alex Menzi, ...and Mark Stokes with the A30

Yep that was my tweed grey A35, still at the mo got my other A35 I spoke about. This was filmed around 2001

Lovely little cars, I want an A35.

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

I learnt to drive in one. Great little cars

[@abderoufbrown3637]

[@glpilpi6209]

Strong reliable little cars , fairly simple to fix too.

[@nickb5391]

I know him at the begining, it's Mark Stokes from South Wales

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

Thanks for telling me Nick, I will add it to the description, I now also know the name of the other lad he posted on it a few days ago

[@markstokes5365]

Aye I get about 😉

[@ianbarnett5839]

Wonder what's happened to the green A35, untaxed and last tax due 1st Sept. 2004!! Great film.

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

If it survived up to that date I would bet it's still around hiding in someone's garage waiting to be reborn

[@theseeker1762]

i had one from 1965 to 1972. i removed and tuned the engine for 90 bhp 8500 rpm which gave 115mph and 53mpg

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

I learned to drive in one around 68 it burned as much oil as it did petrol

[@kenny16m]

Woohoo I'm famous with my A35, wish I knew where it was

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

Do you remember this being filmed Alex?

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

Last on the road 2004 I believe

[@kenny16m]

@@jackflashvintagemotoring7586 yeah I remember a little bit about it, the a40 somerset coupe is my dads, he's still got it, was also in the famous 5 program. It's probably been scrapped unfortunately, we can't remember anything about the person who we sold it too

[@jackflashvintagemotoring7586]

So the somerset is your dads, I bet the A35 is gathering dust somewhere, these videos where on VHS so must be quite old now, mid 90s at a guess

[@kenny16m]

@@jackflashvintagemotoring7586Yeah thats my dad. I've got it on DVD still. I'm hoping it's in a garage somewhere safe and dry.
