696pack 04-21-2011, 02:46 PM What the hell is an A40??? Who made it? What does it weigh? Do you have any other pictures of the body from different angles?
Joe Mopar 04-21-2011, 03:36 PM Damn, the seat must straddle the tranny.
ThomasHarris 04-21-2011, 03:45 PM Austin A40 Farina the car is, and from the factory they weighed about 760kgs...heres a pic from last year, it ran a stockish rover v8 (approx 160hp) and it went 13.8, could have ran so much quicker, but didnt get the chance too!

ThomasHarris 04-21-2011, 04:03 PM wow awesome roller skate
Never heard it been called a roller skate before lol :D cheers buddy
Never seen one of those. That's insane. Interesting that it's NOT a hatchback.
Who makes that? Is it a Hillman?

OK, read ALL of the posts in a thread before asking questions, he answered that above.
Revhendo 04-21-2011, 07:53 PM I got a question. What the hell is the point of the front tires (tyres)? They're never gonna see the ground......
mattsmopars 04-21-2011, 07:54 PM wow awesome roller skate
I think that is a very fitting statement. Matter of fact that would have to be the cars name "Roller Skate". Looks very cool!
Matt
