Finished in deep navy blue and carrying a specialist container body to the rear, the vehicle is adorned with period-style 'Neal Waters of Gt Ayton' decals, lending it tremendous visual appeal and nostalgic charm.

This Austin combines rarity, presence and nostalgia in equal measure. Whether added to a private collection or utilised as a promotional centrepiece, it is certain to attract admiration wherever it appears. Consigned by Dominic Lake
