Austin Maxi

[Austat]

I found this nice HL which is owned by a cars-for-film company. Same era as my dad's being on an N plate too, I wonder if it's got the GT-style steering wheel.

What's the lovely shade of Orange called?

Surprisingly no bids yet, I wonder if it's due to the unusual colour. Anyone felling brave?

It's an early HL so should have the ally steering wheel; yes. Colour is called bracken.

On the topic of early Maxi HLs, I wonder if this is still for sale:

I think there is a £60 charge before you can even bid and I think it is an auto.

Is it still around? It's got the early HL steering wheel, and probably one of the last ones to have it before the HL started using the regular steering wheel in around '76-'77.

i like the way that the road test vehicle, the car that will feature on the magazine cover is missing a hubcap.

now i wonder if that is just bad luck, or if the vehicle was delivered by BL like that?

Crikey, I sold mine 9 years ago way too cheap.  But saying that, there was little interest in them at the time.

Why has no one spotted this Maxi in High Wycombe?
