Note 1 : It doesn't mention the colour of the upholstery.
2 : As mentioned in a recent posting, you could pay extra (I think it
was 10 quid) for other Austin colours.
3 : The Opal Blue may be what you're after.
4 : At that stage, the 65 sports hadn't been produced.

So hopefully someone on the Forum can elaborate further for you. But if you find out otherwise, please let the Forum readers know so we're all in the secret. Good Luck with your search. Cheers, Bill in Oz

I might be wrong, but light blue paintwork with red leather trim doesn't seem a likely standard ex works offering, except perhaps to special order.

Hi John.

If it's 1933 it'll be a PD, not an APD.

When we bought our early '34 PD in the mid seventies although the car was by then red, the logbook gave the colour as blue (shade not specified) and the surviving original upholstery was in a dark-ish red leathercloth.
