' 1947–1954 Austin Sheerline 125. The Austin Sheerline is a large luxury car that was produced by Austin in the United Kingdom from 1947 to 1954. The Sheerline was designed by Austin during the Second World War, but production did not begin until 1947 because of the commitment to war production. It was a luxurious car in the style of the contemporary Rolls-Royce or Bentley but at a much lower price, around two-thirds that of the equivalent Rolls-Royce but still the price of five or six small Austins. There were about 8,000 built but it is now becoming quite rare. Predecessor Austin 28 Ranelagh 4016cc (announced August 1938) Successor Austin A135 Princess Vanden Plas Princess '
