Austin Westminster production ran from 1954 until 1968, at which point it was replaced by the Austin 3 litre. Over this time, there were various distinct Westminsters: the A90, A95, A105, A110, and as shown here the Pininfarina-styled A99. None of the Westminster variants had particularly long production runs; the A99 was only built (at Longbridge, Birmingham) between 1959 and 1961, with 13,410 (or 15,162, depending on the source) examples completed. The A99 was replaced by the A110 in 1961. BMC assigned the A99 model code ADO10, alongside the effectively identical Wolseley 6/99 (although this was produced at Cowley, Oxford, and had somewhat upgraded trim). 2.9l (2912cc) C-Series I6 engine. This example was registered April 1961.
