BANTAM 60

Roadster, tourer, coupé, station wagon.

American Baby Austin with mirror-image engine, disc wheels, and period US styling by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, better looking than contemporary Longbridge efforts. Still only three speeds and two mains, but full-pressure lubrication and should outrun the native article on 20bhp. Only a handful (mostly 1939s) imported.
