The Austin that got "a jolly good thrashing" from Basil Fawlty was an Austin 1100, not an A40.
the car in Fawltey Towers is a 2 door estate. The ADO16 Austin/Morris wasn't made in estate form. The car in the scene from Fawlty Towers, was definitely an Austin A40 Farina.
This is Basil Fawlty driving the Austin in question.
Austin Farina A40 was in production from 1958 - 1967, the ADO16 from 1963-1974. Fawlty's Mark 1 estate was quite rare, the estate version was not introduced until 1966, and the revised mark 2 range was launched in late 1967. Fawlty's car (WLG 142E) has an early 1967 registration.The Austin A40 ceased production in the early 1960s, the various varieties of Austin/Morris/etc 1100/1300 continued into the 1970s. There was indeed a two door estate model and that was the one driven by Basil. It's the "Gourmet Night episode from 1975 at which time the 1100/1300 range was still commonplace, whilst the A40 was becoming rare.
