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?

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!

Never seen one of those. That's insane. Interesting that it's NOT a hatchback.
Who makes that? Is it a Hillman?

I got a question. What the hell is the point of the front tires (tyres)? They're never gonna see the ground......

I think that is a very fitting statement. Matter of fact that would have to be the cars name "Roller Skate". Looks very cool!
