And for my next possible rescue...

I bring you a one owner, 30k, full BL etc Service history, 1975 Austin Maxi! Last on the road and running in 1995, dry stored locally since. rust in the lower front wings but not a lot, suspension down on one side, Clutch seized, what do you reckon?

[Twiggy]

A little bit of TLC and you`ve got a nice motorshite there.

[fotorabia]

nice..go for it Torsten..my Granny had a new metallic green one in Islay..tho i remember her saying once how she hated it...but dont worry bout her!

[bones96]

double jammy git where do you find them lol

[garycox]

Looks good, I don't think I've seen one that colour before...

[nigel bickle]

Not my bag -but I can see the attraction. Good luck -hope its nice 'n cheap?

[Torsten2001]

cheaper than chips I reckon, moving it and getting it running / on the road will be pricey!

[Split_Pin]

Another ace find!It reminds me of an old v-reg one in that same colour that used to tool around my estate when I was a wee boy.As above, if its beer money - why not!!!!

[Cavcraft]

Do it, you'd be mad not to. I *think* that's damask red by the way.

[Torsten2001]

To be honest my very low offer is in and the owner is considering it, Les at BL Transverse is on standby to get it going so we'll hopefully be seeing it on the road again soon!

[Owain-328i]

Dreadful!!! Its a must.

[Simon M]

That lovely - particularly nice colour too.There's a beige Maxi 3 I see around quite a bit that's still putting in sterling work as a daily driver - it lives on a local farm, and a few weeks back there was another beige Maxi parked next to it! Not seen it since, mind.

[keef]

what do you reckon?

Go for it.

 

We used to have a '79 1750 HL: great motor.

Maxis are seriously under rated, that looks nice, might need a suspension pump all round to stop that fragile alloy sump becoming toast on speed humps.

[Torsten2001]

Once it gets back to BL Transverse it will be made good, he has everything needed for a Maxi, it has the makings of a show car!

[Cavcraft]

GR8. Let us know how you get on, fingers crossed and all that.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Superb Maxi - yes, it's Damask red.
