My sister had one of these but the Austin 1300 automatic version. Two main problems were the automatic transmission used the engine oil as fluid. They also had a side mounted radiator and a distributor on the side of the block, exposed directly to rain. When you drove in a storm you had to be careful of other cars throwing up moisture as the car would often stall when the ignition very commonly got wet. Used to carry a can of water dispersant and some rags and we would usually be back up and running in a couple of minutes.

For the yellowed interior. Try saloncare40 is like $5 for 20oz or more and you brush it on like paint stripper. Wrap it up is clear good wrap and let it sit in the sun. It will come up white and won’t destroy the plastic.

Didn't get a Marty's Matchbox Makeover for Saturday so I guess a Zac's Matchbox Makeover will have to suffice. Quite enjoyed this restoration/custom and really have to admire the fine details Lesney put into this casting right down to the number plates. For some reason the overall look of this car reminds me of Mr. Bean's Mini, minus the black hood.

Very nice colour indeed. A lot of British cars started sporting unpleasant colours towards the end of the 1960's. Shades of brown, beige, earthy tones of dun, and unfortunate shades of 'baby's first crap' were often seen, as well as travel-sickness agitating bright greens and purples. Your colour is beautiful, though. Nice one.

Nice job my man! The real car was the best selling car in the UK for several years, under six different badges, yes six! Austin, Morris, Riley, Wolsley, MG and Vanden Plas . My mum had the Morris version in Old English White. It's an odd little car though. It's a saloon with a small boot (trunk), even though it looks like a hatchback. Austin and Morris had different style grilles, and the others, being more expensive, had different shape grilles, different number plate shrouds, maybe different body trim and definitely better interiors probably with more gadgets.
