Mom's and Dad's 1st New Car
 
An Austin A40 Somerset circa 1952. 1200cc 4cyl 42bhp, 0-60 in 36sec, top speed of 72mph. Options? How about power nothing! Here they are in Southern Spain. They picked up a couple of students with huge backpacks. I wonder how that affected the power to weight ratio? Dad is taking the picture. Yes, seeing a car in the street brought out a crowd.
