Austin Morris Brochure

[Richard_FM]

Another item of automotive literature I've recently bought was this brochure from 1978.

I've attached the most interesting pages, but follow the link for more.

My dad remembers that one of the special features of the Maxi HL was the GT steering wheel. I wonder when they were phased out. A nice brochure find by the way.

Thanks I bought this because it’s an early brochure to include the princess & marina with o series engines

I posted some Marina related stuff on the Shite Magazine Scans page if you're interested. The Australian-spec Marinas used E-series engines, both 1.5L & 1.8L variants.

Thanks many Australian spec cars had some odd features often using locally sourced parts to get around import tariffs.

The Maxi HL in that brochure seems to have a wooden dash. My dad had a T reg Maxi HL and it had a black plastic dash, one of the distinguishing features compared to his previous 1750. It also had a kind of cone thing on the end of the exhaust which isn‘t on that picture.
