Half-ton commercial models based on the A55 were introduced in 1957. The van was released in February and was followed in May by a pick-up, chassis and cab, and chassis and scuttle models. Contemporary sales literature used the term ‘Austin ½ ton van and pick-up’. In October 1962, new models were introduced with a restyled front end and bumper, chrome side mouldings, 14" wheels, and various interior refinements. Morris-badged van and pick-up models also were now offered. From September 1963, the commercial models were fitted with the 1622cc (99.0 cu in) engine from the Austin A60 saloon, with the Austins still marketed under the ‘Austin ½ ton’ name. They remained in production to 1973.

Here we have a great opportunity to get yourself a very rare and beautiful Austin A60 Pick-up finished in a lovely shade of blue with a black interior. This A60 has enjoyed a slightly older restoration but would appear not to have been used very much, if at all. The whole things is just lovely in every way; the paint, panels, trim, load bed, chromework, everything is as it should be. The A60 followed on from the A55, of which we have one in the sale from the same home in the same condition. What a pair these make! It would be great to buy both and put them to work in some sort of promotional way, or even harder work. They were good for it in the day so why not now?

This Pickup comes with a host of older MOTs and some photos, possibly just after its restoration but it’s hard to tell as this is so nice and clean. This is a lovely pick-up that has come from a great collection, all to the highest standard the vendor could get too, but we will let you be the ultimate judge of that.
