Austin: A95 Westminster
From Graces Guide
Note: This is a sub-section of Austin
Last made in 1959.
Engine size of model shown is 2639cc.
The A90 was updated for autumn 1956 as the A95. Along with more power, the A95 was longer and now offered an estate model. Overdrive and an automatic transmission were new as well, something of a novelty in British cars of the time.
Both the A95 and A105 were produced together until 1959.
The Westminster name was dropped from the sales literature for the A95 and the A105 although, oddly, the drivers' handbooks still used the name Westminster to title the illustration of the saloon. The estate version was titled Countryman. Nevertheless, most enthusiasts still refer to them as Westminsters.
