All good but the green Mk3 Zephyr does it for me!

Yeah I like that one too Guy.....looking at the front grill I'd say it's a 4 not a 6... But I could be wrong. I think it's on a "B" plate ...1964.

Another great selection Opti 8-) - I fancied that wee Sunbeam Tiger.

There is an identical one parked in our street Z, I think he's selling it to.

Thanks Opti, Nice looking (non-standard) green Moggy, I like the little A's and the bikes to

A35 van was the first car I actually owned.  Bought for £15 sold for £55.  Needed a valve replacing, new (white/yellow) number plates and some T-Cut (Tetrosyl in those days) and some 'nearly right' paint.

Actually in my avatar right now!

[size=16]What was the difference between the A30 .....and the A35?.[/size]

I nearly fell off my chair when I read this thread and got to the following bit...

Another great selection Opti 8-) - I fancied that wee Sunbeam Tiger.

Early models came with a 4.2 V8.....latter models had a 4.7 litre V8 lump......just right for your yourself and Mrs Zulu.....

Had to go back and realise poster was talking about the tiger not the A30/35!!!

Very nice Opti
Lizzie, the first car I ever owned was a dark green Austin A35, I was 17 and it cost me £8! I once had it full to gunwhales with 7 up (people not the drink ) & the exhaust tail pipe dragging a rut in the tarmac!!! Happy Days!

Yes it is too easy to forget the larger engined car that looked very similiar to the A30, but came out as the A35. 

That must have been a lovely car to own as a teenager Phil, as my A40 was at 17 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

An early hatchback.....I believe Lizzie..

Well only the boot lid opened, so although it looked like it should be a hatchback it was not.  Great shame!

I have found this interesting site Optimist that fully describes the differences:

The A30 was my first car...small moon shaped rear window, long gearstick and 948cc engine. The A35 had the larger window and short gearstick...not sure on engine size
Did a de-coke on mine and fitted Austin Healey Sprite bits ....geeez...did it go

EDIT* I am having thoughts now that My A30 was 803CC !!!!!
