Another Austin Record
The production of Austin cars achieved a new record in the week ending July 10th, 2329 vehicles rolling off the assembly lines of the great Longbridge factory. This is the highest number of Austin vehicles to come off in any week since the war and indeed it represents the greatest single post-war week’s production of cars and commercial vehicles of any firm in the British Motor Industry. By the end of the present week upwards of 30,000 of the new Austin A. 40’s will have been produced and of this total fewer than 1000 have gone onto the home market while more than 11,000 have been shipped to North America for dollars.
