AR-79-62 AUSTIN SHEERLINE 1949 / 2014 Apeldoorn

            1949 Austin Sheerline A125 Convertible by Vesters & Neirinck
Built for Leopold III, King of Belgium, as a parade car

When World War II ended, Austin decided to build a car to try and rival Bentley. They introduced the Sheerline (originally in A.110 form) in 1947. After only 12 of those were sold, they shifted to the A.125 – the difference being displacement.

The cars looked a little like Bentleys and a little like Jaguars – in that they were stately, boxy sedans. All were four-door cars offered as sedans or limousines. The engine in the A.125 was a 4.0-liter straight-six making 125 horsepower.

This particular car was delivered new to Belgium and given a custom coachbuilt body by a local Belgian coachbuilder.
