Emblems on eBay: 1940 style

Posted on by under Uncategorized

If you’ve been looking for a pair of emblems for a 1940 project, now may be your chance.  I haven’t been tracking Bantam items as long as many of my readers, but there are some items which you just don’t seem to come across that often.  Lately, carbs and Austin headlight parts seem to be quite popular, although pricey.  I’ve only seen one of these Bantam emblems in the past three years, and it disappeared with a buy it now.  These have some issues and could mostly use a rechrome and paint to match your car, but otherwise they are pretty decent.

Also, I have my lap top back from a long stint being repaired.  Please look forward to some new updates and expedited posts coming in the near future.  If anything should be a recommendation for a Microsoft Surface, it should be the fact that I have been using one exclusively for managing this website for almost two months.

Austin Centric parts and some Bantam hood sides

After a bunch of parts ended on ebay last night, for astronomical prices to boot.  As those were ending, another set of items were listed by the seller.

First up:  An American Austin Tillotson M10A carb.  Unlike the one which sold for nearly $500, this is the earlier more common carb.  The seller states that it is not split or broken.  However, in the first photo it looks as though one of the bosses that holds a stop for the throat side lever is broken.  You may want to ask for more photos.

If you’re looking for a core steering wheel, here is one which is cracked and missing much of its ribbing.  These are no longer remanufactured, so it may be difficult to find someone to repair the original rubber compound of the wheel.

American Austin Coupe mirror:  If you need one for your Austin Roadster, this may be modified as the original ones were to delete the top scallop and bolt hole.

I’m not sure how many of these have gone missing over the years, but this looks to be the cowl vent for an Austin coupe or a Bantam Coupe, Convertible Sedan, or Convertible Coupe.

Lastly, the seller has a pair of Bantam hood sides.  They have no holes punched for either the Bantam emblems installed on 1940 Bantams or the garnish used on the 1939 Deluxe model Bantams.  The seller supposedly has a $150 reserve on them, it’ll be interesting to see what this command.
