The A40 of 1947 was Austin's first mass market post-war car and marked the debut of a new 1200cc 40bhp OHV engine that was the direct ancestor of the familiar B-Series unit but which was very different in detail. The car was completely new from stem to stern and also featured a new gearbox and front suspension design. The A40 had a separate chassis, which enabled it to be built in a variety of body styles and Austin certainly exploited this. As a four-door it was marketed as the Devon, whilst the two-door was called the Dorset and the convertible was known as the A40-Sports. Its chassis was used almost unaltered to create the A40 Somerset of 1952. The van version, modelled here, was available from 1948 and was produced alongside its pick-up cousin until the range was dropped in 1956 after 140,060 vans/pick-ups had been built. Introduced in 1936 by the South African Co-Op Citrus Exchange ,the Outspan trade mark was formerly used on all Citrus exports from South Africa. The South African Co-Op Citrus Exchange itself was established in 1926 as a marketing board responsible for the export and marketing of all fresh citrus fruit from South Africa. In 1994 Outspan International was established and assumed responsibility for the marketing of Outspan fruits. With the deregulation of the South African fruit industry in 1997, Outspan International merged with the 'Cape' deciduous fruit marketing board forming Capespan Pty.
