fotorabia Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Spotted this interesting Austin 1300 in Marton today which has had a rare roof conversion....and the amount of extra doors lying beside perhaps was an abandoned stretched limo project...im strangely drawn to it due to its number plate which is the same as the my Vivas..so this makes the Austin a 1971 model...my parents had one in Australia when i was little...hence a certain sentimentality...might go and enquire about it nxt time im over there..i dont care about paint..only mechanics and legalities... its also sitting outside a large non operating engineering workshop... ps..after deducting my number plate from this one..there is exactly 111 cars between the Viva and this Morris!...wheres my anorak...

fotorabia Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 hmmm..think that might be more than my non bodywork skills could handle..tho i like the plate on that one ..SKE...[ESKI}thats a chilly bin over here..u know..what u keep your beers cold in... i can do an owner search on the plate..small invasion of privacy but its legal!..good ones here are now trying to break the $1000 mark...theres still quite a few around..and it would look cool with mismatching colored panels...could start with all those doors.. tho my favourite color is this was this really called Roman purple or am i wrong on that...

keef Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 was this really called Roman purple or am i wrong on that...Don't think we had that one over here. My fav was a bit darker and called Black Tulip. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotorabia Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 oki doki..i should ring the yard where i saw the the purple ponder and see if its for sale...tho their prices are a bit scary..they probably know the $1000plus scene now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
