Our club is dedicated to preserving, restoring, and celebrating the American Austin and American Bantam cars. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a new enthusiast, you’ll find a community passionate about these historic vehicles. We host events, share restoration tips, and showcase member projects to keep the spirit of these classic cars alive. The American Austin and American Bantam with its 75-inch wheelbase and small engine (14 to 22 horsepower) is still popular with collectors today. It easily fits in the corner of any garage. With its diminutive size, it is often the jewel of the car show garnering more attention than the big boys.

A group of enthusiasts formed the American Austin Bantam Club in 1962 and we are still going strong. The club, affectionately known as the AABC, offers a bi-monthly newsletter and the popular American Austin Bantam Club Authenticity Manual to its members. Our national meets, which are held at a different location every year, include a swap meet, technical seminar, optional car judging, tour and the chance to make lifelong friends. It’s the relationships within the club that will help you find parts and get your car back on the road.

On this site, you will find some information on The Cars, with a history of where they came from and some basic technical information. Additionally, a Gallery of American Austin and Bantam cars of various vintages is available. If you are looking to engage in the discussion or ask questions, check out the Forums. The News section will recount some of the happenings with these cars or the meets of the owners and fans of these vehicles. Information about future meets and the ability to register for them will be posted in Events when the information is available.
