  • Austin 1800 and 3-litre

    An earlier and larger version of the Maxi, known in the trade as 'the land crab!' I worked for a BMC distributor when it was introduced, and the first one we sold drove straight into the forecourt wall when the customer tried to do a U-turn in front of the showroom, a feat he used to accomplish in his old A.60! There were the usual badge-engineered variants from Morris and Wolseley, too. The 3-litre was a stretched version with the A.110 6-cyl engine mounted fore and aft and driving the rear wheels.
