Would a long wheelbase landcrab be a landlobster? :)

 

Nope the Austin 3 Litre has already taken the Lobster title, I'm afraid. :)

"Landcrayfish" ?? my father had a green MK1 Morris 1800 from new, sold it for 75 pounds with 46,000 on the clock when he gave up driving.... :shock:

MRL 845 F - Not a "Six", I'm afraid, but I have a few pics, will get a scan & upload one for you Keef.

Can you also explain why if you enter '"goning banger raceing" site:www.gumtree.com' in Gooogle you get a wolseley Six result, but can't view it?

Because a grunting mong with tattoos and a hiab sold one I expect. Google will hold the advert in the search engine for a while even though the Gumtree ad's gone.

wolsely six looking for a new owner to care for her.This car has 1 years mot and starts runs and drives perfectly. As you would expect it has loads of time and money spent on it. Fully undersealed and is in very good condition all that is really needed is a decent paint job as the paintwork is looking a little old. All brerkes been replaced new exhaust good tyres. Basically just arrive and drive it away. Pictures available from my phone. Any questions please ask. Thanks for taking the time to look

There used to be a Landcrab parked around the corner from my house when I was young.

I used to think that they were just a 'Maxi with a boot' . :oops:

The Six used the Maxi's 1500 engine with two extra cylinders bolted on. :D
