1923 Austin 12/4 Tourer Reg no. SV 9692 Chassis no. 2TT1847 Engine no. 2889 Austin motorcars were manufactured from 1907 onwards. Herbert Austin had previously been general manager of Wolseley, he resigned in 1905 to form his own company. 1922 saw the introduction of one of the company`s second great designs, the Heavy 12/4 model. It featured a side valve mono-block engine of 1661 cc in unit construction with the gearbox and had a plate clutch. The gate-change gear lever and hand brake were centrally mounted. This particular car with original Austin coachwork was exported new to New Zealand, where it remained until re-imported back to the UK in 2003. It is finished in Trafalgar blue with black wings and wheels, and has black deep-buttoned leather to the interior. It still retains the original beaded edge wheels, fitted with 760 x 90 tyres. The spare wheel is mounted at the rear together with a luggage rack. The CAV lighting, dashboard instruments, and early style hub centres are all correct and original. Being an early car it has the lower radiator with a slight up-sweep to the windscreen, which is such an attractive feature. It is believed to be to original specification in all respects. During the present ownership a considerable amount of work has been undertaken including a complete engine strip down and rebuild where necessary. This included re-facing of the cylinder block and cylinder head, refacing of cam followers and adjusting bolts, honing of the cylinder bores, new piston rings, re-cutting new valve seats, fitting new valves and guides, a new timing chain and new bearings for the dynamo drive. The hood, sidescreens, and hood bag have all been professionally re-trimmed to an exceptionally high standard. The car has been driven zero miles since this work has been completed. The engine will require careful `running-in` for the first 500 miles! Paperwork includes numerous past MoT certificates, photocopy of a 1923 owners handbook, a current MoT valid until 23 June 2012 and the current V5C registration document. The car on offer is a delightful early 12/4, much lighter than the later cars and has been known to the Vintage Austin Register for some years, and is well catered for by this club.
