The Austin A90 Westminster is a distinguished British saloon that reflects the confident post-war engineering of the 1950s. Introduced in 1954, it replaced the A70 Hereford and brought a larger, more refined presence to Austin’s range. Powered by a 2.6 litre BMC C-Series six-cylinder engine, the A90 offered smooth performance and respectable touring ability, making it a popular choice for families, professionals and official fleets. Its upright styling, generous chrome detailing and spacious cabin gave it a formal character, while independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes helped make it practical for everyday motoring.

Enthusiasts often remember the A90 Westminster for its strong rallying credibility. In 1955, an A90 driven by Jack Murray and Bill Murray famously won the Redex Round Australia Trial, proving the car’s durability across punishing Australian roads and outback conditions. That achievement gives the Westminster a special connection with local motoring history and makes it more than just a classic British sedan.
