Find out how it feels to be a passenger in Austin’s big comfy 1950s family car
The Somerset replaced the Devon in the Austin range in 1950. It is a large family car with swoopy American styling and plenty of chrome. The 1200cc engine had to deal with a heavy car with a separate chassis so performance was leisurely at best.
This car is also available to drive but if you are too young to drive or just feel more comfortable as a passenger then this 10 minute experience is a great option
