Can't be many of those about still, certainly not in that condition. Looks very good. Were you looking for one?

What I love is the indicator lamp on the end of the indicator stalk... that is nostalgia in microcosm.

Not realy looking for one, It was advertised by someone locally who was selling off everything his brother had left to share the proceeds with his sisters, it started off at £13,000 at the start of the year because he had seen on on classic cars for £15995 but in the end he almost gave it away.

Only 3 automatics listed as still on the road and 4 sorn so quite a rare car

I am struggling here.

When I was first into classic cars and a great deal younger I remember thinking that there would probably come a time when even the Austin 1100 and the Land Crab would become classiscs, and bugger me, here we are.

Even I am thinking to myself that that looks really interesting.....

Given they only built 10k, they are favourites with MGC and big Healey owners for spares, are as prone to rust as most 60s tin, and being a favourite of banger racers on account of being bargetastic, it's a wonder there are any left at all.

What's the red one on MM's profile page? Looks like an 300SL Roadster but I can't see on one his list?

It looks a bit like a Plymouth Fury from the front, like Christine.

That was back in the day when they really knew how to build cars, somewhere along the line I think they forgot.
