photo register of Austin 65 EB65 Sports

There are plenty of images floating around on the web, and with a little interrogation of the Survivors Register, here are alloy-bodied cars shown in ascending chassis number order, left to right. The A7CA Register for the 65 presently starts at chassis 165448, and ends around 193712 but with 65 spec cars still being recorded into the 196000s. There are approximately 115 register entries for 65s out of perhaps 340 original cars – can you suggest one that needs to be added here?

That takes us to approaching 180,000, the 1933 build cars. Then:

and from 185,000 onto the final 65s and the first alloy bodied ‘transition’ Nippys:

The cars below appear or are noted as 65s, but are either not on the Register or cannot be further investigated from the imagery/information in the public domain:

1933 65 at Anglia Car Auctions in 2015; on Danish plates. Anyone know the chassis number?

this car HY7544 at Richard Edmonds auction in 2015 – but with a chassis number low even for an early car. Any further knowledge?

1933 car (ex-Nigel Snow)

Eric Barrass’s (1914-2012) car given as 21st birthday present, so probably 1934. Does OD8396 still survive anywhere?

dragged out of a barn in 1970s – appeared on ebay 2012ish

originally a Type 65; body perhaps #216. It was rebuilt with a Speedy engine onto a Ruby chassis in the 1940s, and re-registered VMA 149;the number to DNU 216 in the 1970s

A Willys Overland Crossley 65? Still around?

BDH 24, B9-2020 so should be a 65. Reg 11.7.34. Has the correct Bluemels wheel – can anyone advise?

WD 8734 noted as a 65 and 1934; not on Register. Contact if you now own it!

ADF 252 noted as a 65 but very late. Do you know more?

nice car at Beaulieu 2015 – plainly a later chassis but another lost 65 body?

last known in late 1960s – see blog post on AYU 517

pile of parts on carandclassic Aug 2016. Can anyone give more information?

Eric Barrass memories here; “I never aspired to a new motorcycle or car until the generous 21st birthday present from my father – an Austin 65 in bright scarlet.” If you want to add your car, send me an image! Some auction cars and sale results:
