Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:
If it weren’t for the blunt but bang-on comments of the Duke of Edinburgh, during a tour of BMC’s design studios back in 1955, we might never have met the handsome A40 ‘Farina’ of 1958. The inverted comma reference to this generation – known as the Farina to enthusiasts – is due to the Duke’s derogatory comments, aimed at the work of both Leonard Lord and George Harriman. He wasn’t impressed with their efforts and suggested they employ an Italian designer. Lord duly obliged the Duke and contacted Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina, and the rest is history…
This little A40 is very far from frumpy, with its racing additions lifting it into something a whole lot more exciting. The model has been on the up ever since it qualified as an historic touring car, with the A40 a common sight on the grids of the Goodwood Revival (St Mary’s Trophy) and similar events across the UK and Europe. Although this trend certainly isn’t a new development, the A40 having propelled George ‘Doc’ Shepherd to a British Saloon Car Championship title way back in 1960.
