What a beauty. I had one in 1976, when I was 21. In reality, I was too young to appreciate it. VERY thirsty cars, but gorgeous !

[@BarryRudge]

Back in the day they couldn't shift them and sales were very poor, but for room you can't beat them, you could virtually hold a dance in the rear passenger cabin. A 3 ltr straight six and not transverse like many folk think they are. This one is a real beauty, but they are quite thirsty.

I don't understand why the lads can't get a car ready before filming. Make sure it starts, make sure bonnet and doors are open, no more juggling with camera. It's not rocket science.

[@damianleah6744]

Because they are mainly sold as seen, especially barn finds, purists love all that.

Unprofessional look

[@glennlingard7851]

Very nice car indeed but l don’t know why the person selling it doesn’t put a new battery on it!

[@DevonTrev]

I used to be driven to football in one of these as an 11 Yr old, fabulous car

[@SteveBernard42]

Difficult to sell back in the day, the rear wheel drive coupled with Hydrolastic suspension made the ride a bit ‘seasick’ for some.

[@StephenClark-v1y]

Nice car the car that replaced the Westminster

[@simonnoble7589]

Will be a great car for somebody

A young guy did a road-test on a well-sorted 3-litre last year, he really felt they were underrated as it rode and drove well. Same engine as a Big Healey?

No 7 bearing crank shared with mgc

I really think these Austins were just so elegant . A really gorgeous car that I hope goes tp a good home At least spares will be ongoing as the type 35 Borg Warner is very common from the MK2 Jag to the Stag , and the engine spares looked after by the Healey brigade .
