Austin/Morris/Wolsley 1800 isnt it?

NotoriousREV

No, it's an Austin/Morris 1100/1300 saloon

I had one of those for my first car! a 1971 Morris 1300. Although austin made them at some point too. mine was bogey green and my dad thought it would be a good idea for him to buy it for me! I had to take it to college when I was 17 while all the others had new cars bought for them lol
I was a hit with all the grungers and hippies though, they used to love it!

Good guesses lads. She's a Wolseley 1300 Mark 2 with twin carbs and straight through exhaust!!! I collected it for the father-in-law who likes to work on these classics. My new clutch suffered as well and it did attract some looks on the M4! I will not be doing that too often again that's for sure!.

Does the light behind the grill badge still work???

JFB

It most certainly does and that only applied to the Wolseley of course!

i used to use my scooby for towing my rallycar car around, but it got a bit expensive with the old juice!!

My Grandma's next door neighbour has a mint Vanden Plas Princess 1300 Automatic, similar to above car but with VP grill, leather interior, walnut dash and picnic tables behind the front seats. I think she's owned it from new

And my previous answer should have read Austin/Morris/Wolesley/Riley/MG/VP 1100/1300

Ohh NotoriousREV!!! You really know your BMC's from your Leylands dont you.lol
My dad had a Wolsley 2200 in the wedgy Austin Princess shape. Tranverse straight six and then a later wedgy shap Ambassador VP. The 70's and 80's were deffo weird times.

20 years ago I slapped an Austin 1300 motor into my Mini and gave it a twin choke Weber carb and a straight through exhaust! That wee beast could have pulled a Subaru on a trailer!

NotoriousREV

Sadly, yes. You name a 70's rustbucket and either me or my Dad have owned one. Allegro's, Maxi's, Marina's, Ambassador's: if it was crap, we had one

My Dad had a Wolseley Six - real luxury back in the Seventies - at least that's what it seemed like to a young lad like me at the time. Automatic, walnut dash, arm rests in the front - silky six cylinder engine.... o)

It even had black inserts around the headlights (not chrome) - this was special to the Six - the 1800 had chrome ones

Blimey, my very first car was a Morris 1300, I thought it was the "Dogs Dangley's"
I was 17, it was 1977,I think it was a G reg.
