ADO40 Car Register

It would be an impossible guess to estimate how many Austin Freeway's and Wolseley 24/80's have survived to the present day. This page is an attempt to try and capture details of some of the surviving cars. We would also like to receive any known details of cars that have been or are being scrapped as this will help to fill in the overall picture of what has happened to some of the cars.

If you would like to have your car listed in the Register, ( I know we would like to see it listed ) please click the "Add My Details" button and complete the Registry Submission Form.
