The A40 Sports was a small aluminium-bodied convertible version of the Austin A40 Somerset. Produced from 1950 until 1953, the A40 Sports featured a 4-seat 2-door body built by Jensen. It was very similar to the Somerset saloon, though it used a twin-carburettor version of the 1.2 L engine producing bhp (34 kW) as opposed to bhp (31 kW). Top speed was mph ( km/h).
4,011 A40 Sports cars were produced when production ended. Jensen went on to produce the Austin-Healey 100, which could be seen as a replacement for this car.
