The Name
The A40 designation had been used on previous Austins, but the "Farina" suffix was new with this car; it was later applied to larger Austins which were also 'styled by Pininfarina'.
The Farina name was not used in Sweden, where the car received the name "Futura" because a mix-up with a common type of brown sugar with a similar name was believed to be unavoidable.

Steel against intimation the sharp flash,
