Percy - 512FJO
1959 Austin A35 (A2S5)
Purchased by Matt Brown on 3rd December 2005, 512FJO also known as Percy was actually our second Austin and is now the car we've owned for the longest, thats 20 years.
It's a 1959 A35 or an A2S5 variant. Originally registered on 13th July 1959 in Oxford then transferred to its first owner Norman D Woods residing at Towcester Police Station on 20th July 1959.
It remained under Norman's ownership for almost 1 year and 9 months until 10th April 1961 where it was transferred to a colleague Richard Alan Isham (known as Alan to his colleagues) at Kings Sutton Police Station.
Alan then transferred Percy over to Kathleen Thomas 7th September 1962 who can be seen here pictured with the car back in June 2013.
Not only was she one of the original owners, she also lived at the same address on the log book so this photo is of the present and past owners together at one of its longest kept homes. Kathleen retained ownership until 18th June 1973
