Saw this on Saturday when the fiance and I went out for a ride. Looks to be a 68-72, left hand drive (I assume all Americas were) and what I’m assuming is a rare automatic? Pretty damn good condition too.

Not pictured, a bright orange 2WD Ural Patrol that a couple had ridden down from Laconia, NH.

I saw one of these a while back in not near as good of condition. Neat cars though.

An Austin 1300 wouldn’t of been my first choice from the BMC/British Leyland, etc... stable to have.

Personally I’d have the 1970 Rover 3.5litre coupe.

Kinja'd!!!

But that Austin looks in fantastic condition.

Oooh, an 1100/1300!

Don’t see them very often, or at all. Yes, automatics were rare. They used the same one as the Mini. A four speed, not common at the time. Parts are unobtainable now so many survivors have been given manual boxes which means a new engine too.

I’d really, really like to but having been on vacation for 2 weeks, then not getting to the yard work last weekend, I am REALLY behind on stuff :-/
