Nj 3535

Post by Boulders » Tue Dec 03, 2019 7:45 pm

Hi all,

My father owned an Austin 12/6 ascot in the late 70s. The vehicle at the time was well known around the vintage car and steam rally events of the day, it was painted in yellow / black as it had been used for a taxi. My father Edward Boulderstone was a member of the ATDC whilst he owned the car. I can see that on dvla site it still exists but possibly repainted blue / black. Registration number is NJ 3535

The family would love to find the car and possibly visit the owner if known. Please if you know the car or anything about its history after my father sold in 1979 it would be a great help.

Regards
Neil Boulderstone

The car is in the membership list of 1977. A 1934 model. It seems to have disappeared off the Club's radar by 1990. Hopefully someone will recognise the reg no. Is it chrome-rad (flat rad) or cowled rad?

It's a flat chrome type rad , it's a shame it was repainted because it was yellow and black from new. It's such a shame it dropped of the radar as we have been looking for many years now.

That is interesting, must have been a special order as Primrose was not one of the standard colours for the Ascot (according to ATDC Austin Colours Reference Book).

You will need to compress and save copy of your picture. In MS picture manager this might be "for website".
Then post as usual on this forum, click on Attachments and then Add files to select the pic you have prepared.
Voila!
