Austin A40 Somerset Drophead Coupe
Carbodies were contracted to build a drophead coupe of the A40 Somerset in place of the Jensen-built A40 Sports model. 7243 Drophead Somersets were sold, mainly to export. In 1952 an A40 Somerset Drophead was used by Her Majesty QEII to tour the island of Malta. In 1954 the Somerset was replaced by the new monocoque construction Austin A40 Cambridge and A50 Cambridge, and no convertible was offered.
