About The Club
The United Kingdom based A30/A35 Owner's Club would like to welcome you to our official
home on the Internet. First launched in March 2004, this second generation website
was launched in October 2004.
The Club was originally founded by a small group of enthusiasts who wanted to meet
up, share advice, help each other with technical issues and generally to share a
love of the Austin A30/A35 variants. Our membership is around 1,000 with members
registered from across the globe.
This section shows how the award winning club is organised and the places where
we are represented. If you would like further information please do contact us.
The Club Committee
The Committee is made up of volunteers who undertake a range of roles in order to
keep the club running. Places on the Committee are open to any member of the Club.
Where several people stand for a post, a vote is held. The Club always has room
for anybody who might wish to become more actively involved and prides itself on
welcoming new members to an official capacity either nationally or at a more local
level.
New roles open as members stand down or rotate to other jobs and are advertised
in the club magazine. If you feel that you would like to become involved, but require
more information or would perhaps like to gain some experience first please do contact
us.
The Club publishes four magazines a year, organises rallies, offers help and advice,
maintains an extensive archive and is affiliated to the lobby group FBHVC on your
behalf.
Local Group Support
Whilst Club is a national organisation, it strongly believes in the benefits of
members being able to contact and help each other locally. By joining the national
club we can put you in touch with a group near you and contribute some of your membership
fee to the local organisation.
In some areas there may not be an official local group but the Club usually has
members who are keen to help out and share their interest in all things Austin.
We can put you in touch with a local contact when you join the Club.
Overseas Representation
Austin A30 and A35s were exported all over the world and still have an enthusiastic
following in many other countries. The Club is proud of its strong links to overseas
members and keeps a list of contacts abroad.
Vehicle Registrars
The role of our vehicle registrars is to collate information on the survival of
our Austin models. Therefore they are always keen to know of any cars put back on
the road, rediscovered after being hidden away, or perhaps of a rare variant seldom
seen any more.
Information from and to the DVLA and the representation of our club at the Federation
of British Historical Vehicle Clubs are also important roles.
