Austat Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 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?

keef Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 It's an early HL so should have the ally steering wheel; yes. Colour is called bracken. http://www.austinmaxiclub.org/gallery/gallery077.htm https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.austinmaxiclub.org/gallery/gallery077.htm Austat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a £60 charge before you can even bid and I think it is an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
