Facts about the model
Performance with A35. A A35 de luxe saloon with the 948 cc engine was tested by the British Motor magazine in 1956 and was found to have a top speed of 71.9 mph (115.7 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 30.1 seconds. A fuel consumption of 41.5 miles per imperial gallon (6.81 L/100 km; 34.6 mpg?US) was recorded.[4]
Referring to the A35, from Staton Abbey (1969). The Book of the Austin A30 and A35. Pitman Press: p 148.
"...The new cars were thoroughly proved by tests carried out on the German autobahnen, during which drivers of much larger cars were astonished to be passed by three small Austins which were being driven flat out all day, averaging 60 mph for 25000 miles!..."
".....a privately-owned works-tuned A35 was driven for seven days around the Montlhéry track, near Paris, in a record-breaking run at an average speed of 75 mph, covering nearly 12500 miles...."
With standard fit of drums all round, in both the A30 and the A35, the front hydraulic with rear hydro-mechanical brakes (the hydraulics acted upon the hand brake at the rear) needed regular adjustment to keep the stopping distances reasonably short.
The A35 was quite successful in 1950s saloon car racing, until supplanted by the Farina A40, but some still appear in historic events.
In recent years a special Academy class of racing has been introduced by the HRDC (Historic Racing Drivers Club), featuring A30 and A35 saloons. These cars feature sealed 1,275 cc (77.8 cu in) Marina engines, and are a restricted class, meaning that owners are limited to a specific range of parts from specified suppliers.
