Mk2 Production Run
The Mk2 version first rolled off the production line in 1961, and examples such as the 1962 model are still preserved in museums. Production of the Mk2 continued until the model’s overall end of life in 1967.
Two‑Box Design and Body Variants
Like its predecessor, the Mk2 retained the Farina’s two‑box body shape and was offered as a saloon. An estate version called the A40 Countryman appeared in 1959, and the Italian partner Innocenti even built a hatchback version as part of its 1959 BMC deal.
Enduring Appeal and Parts Challenge
Today the Farina Mk2 is praised for its stylish yet sensible classic look and remains affordable for collectors. However, original body panels—especially front wings—are now hard to find, with many replacements being fiberglass rather than metal.
