The A40 Sports was a small aluminum-bodied convertible version of the Austin A40 Devon. Produced from 1950 through 1953, the A40 Sports featured a 4-seat 2-door body built by Jensen. It was very similar to the Devon saloon, though it used a twin-carburettor version of the 1.2 L engine for somewhat more power.
4,011 A40 Sports cars were produced when production ended. Jensen went on to produce the Austin-Healey 100, which could be seen as a replacement for this car.
