mitsisigma01 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Try it if you can, but only in a modern shitbox obviously. Amazing adrenaline rush with a hint of poop if you get whacked hard enough 😂😂 Amishtat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard_FM Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I sort of know someone who owned a 3 Litre for a few years before selling it on because it needed more work that he manage. He collects old TVs & videos & had an open day once a year as his house is like a museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 6 hours ago, Amishtat said: I've said it before and I'll say it again, 90% of the many people lining up to stick knives into the Austin 3-litre have never even sat in one let alone driven one. Wonderful vehicles and a league apart from anything else available at the time(alright, maybe not an S. 1 XJ6). And to think that the few ignorant contributors to this site currently would rather lose their shit over miserable landfill fodder like Clios and Focii, never mind fucking Daewoos or Protons. Absolute, depressing, irreparable complete shit. Nobody will mourn that cack once it's raced. (Yes, I've owned one, driven about ten) Ok, so which would you: Austin 3-litre, XJ6 Ser 1, or VDP 4-litre R? noseypoke and Amishtat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love the 3-litre, a good Series 1 XJ is just the best thing of its period. And that's a hard statement from a devoted entbusiast of 6 cylinder Farinas, P5s, Mk. 4 Zodiacs and PB/PC Crestas, but it's the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same performance as a PC Cresta or Mk4 Zodiac which were also used as motorway cars at the time. Remember V8 P6es and Jags cost a lot more money, 3 big BMC/Ford / Vauxhalls or 2 Rover 3500s that couldn’t carry as many cones, shovels etc. anyway . A 3 litre for motorways and a Cooper S for chasing, perfect pair. Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
