Back on the road: 1934 Austin 'Heavy' lovingly restored to former glory after being locked in a garage since 1956

For more than 50 years, this classic car languished, daubed with graffiti and vandalised, locked and forgotten in a garage.

But it is now back on the road for the first time since 1956 after being lovingly restored and passing its first ever MOT certificate.

The 1934 Austin ‘Heavy’ 12/4 belongs to Ken Wyatt and his father-in-law, Alan Pepper from Swinton, near Rotherham.

The pair have affectionately named the vehicle ‘Constance Bertha’ after its only previous owner, Constance Bertha Bower.

The car was first bought in March 1934 in Sheffield, for the princely sum of £295 by a local Swinton councillor, builder and architect Joseph Aquilla Bower for his daughter-in-law, Constance.     More Read
