No this really is the nuts!, It's the 1970 London - Mexico World Cup Rally car, Full of WANT!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all Maxis meant to be hatchback?

Hey look at this Datsun! Is this a model sold in the UK? it looks unusual, but I cant put my finger on why.Its got a diesel engine and is 800€.

Yeah, it's a Datsun 280C here (430 model). Ours never had twin headlights or diesels though.

that maxi was on Macdroitwich. The boot rather than hatch had something to do with shell rigidity IIRC. Had a mini-style centre exhaust too FTW.

It looks to me like an onboard hydrolastic pump so you can adjust the ride height according to conditions.

This I understand, the Ambassador weighed more than the Princess to get the rigidity back; but did Macdroit mention what bodyshell it used (OK, probably Landcrab panels) and how the bootlid was made? Presumably by hand.

Maxi bodyshell with a hand built rear end.

I don't think so, very early Maxi's had a conventional boot, I used to service one in the late 1970s, it was just a normal car, nothing special !

I thought the big maxi tagline was 5 doors 5 seats and 5 gears! I am certain they were a hatch from day one.

I suspect they may have welded up the hatch and fitted an 1800 bootlid (or similar) to give the shell a bit more strength - not that they really needed it.

Not on a Maxi it wasn't. I'm looking for the pics showing it mid-build, but the shell was built especially on the rally car.

http://www.austinmaxiclub.org/theMaxi/history.htm"The car was new from stem to stern, it had a new engine and transmission (5 speed gearbox), new body and layout (5 door vehicle with fold down seats). The only thing that wasn't new were the doors which belonged to the 1800 series."I suspect someone is getting their Maxis muddled up with their Landcrabs? ;)

This looks lovely, and at £1495 it doesn't sound to badly priced neither, I'm surprised they haven't moted it themselfs though.

On the flip side, a bag of sand for this crusty frog sounds quite high.

Rod/b, thank you Sah, you are a leg end! Saloon configuration would have added ridgidity, and also a sealed bulkhead to isolate the fuel tank. The bonus of this is that dust from rough roads would also be less likely to get into the cabin.

Have we had this pretty little Panda yet?, It would make a nice car for Brammy though i guess it's out of your price range.
