Hi, gosh I am a pest, but I'm doing a crash coarse to lern about this car. On the first part of the "History" paage here it says; The first Austin sports model was also introduced in 1923. By 1926, the project was considered a success when production passed the 14,000 figure" which leads me to believe 14,000 were produced.

Then on the next page it says "A supercharged version referred to as the Super Sports was also produced during this time. It is believed that roughly 300 Sports and Super Sports were produced. Gordon England also produced versions of these models. They became known as the Brooklands Sports and Brooklands Super Sports.

The 'E' model Sports and Super Sports were produced in 1927 -1928. It is believed that only 5 were produced, one (the prototype ?) was sent to Australia in 1927 for use by Col. Waite in his racing efforts.

Approximately 300 'EA' Sports and Super Sports were manufactured from 1929 to 1931. This model was also refereed to as the 'Ulster' (so named after the Ulster TT races).

Were there 14,000 produced or were there very few?

Thank you in advance for helping me with this! Sheldon [email protected]
