1947 Auster J5

$AUD40,000

1947 Auster J5 — a charming and capable vintage taildragger with excellent mechanical pedigree. Recently through its annual inspection, this Auster is running beautifully, with a smooth engine that received a top overhaul less than 100 hours ago. The low-time propeller and electric starter motor (no hand-propping needed) make it a joy to operate, offering reliable performance and classic British character. A rare opportunity to own a well-sorted, easy-starting example of this post-war icon.
