Fantastic restoration, Martin! I lived in England for a couple of years as a teenager (Dad's job transferred him) and I remember our Headmaster drove an Austin 1800. What I
Love what you did with this one, Martin! Always great attention to the little details! The color change is nice and transforming it from a taxi to a "Saloon" was a good idea, too. I remember playing with my little cars and riding my bike for hours as a youngster. Now they've got an electronic device permanently attached to their hand rotting their brain!
Years ago Martin, Shaun bought an old Austin Wolseley (if I remember correctly for £75, it was around 1985) to specifically get us to Skegness for a week in the caravan. It was Shaun, Heather, baby Gavin, me and Kerry and Melvin....but that car was huge! It broke down about 18 miles from Skegness, so we abandoned it and started walking to the caravan. After about 5 miles Kerry developed blisters because she was in high heels and was moaning about being alive. We came across a phone box and Melvin called his Dad...Much to our surprise he actually came to pick us up! Shaun and Heather continued walking on to the caravan and stayed a week 😂 This video brought that memory back to me. I absolutely love the photos outside the garage at the end! Really captured that time period in my memories. See you soon.
What an amazing transformation. I love the final garage shots!
Nice to see you changed it from a taxi,to a normal car.
Another beauty from you, Martin. You make this look affortless. Great colour choice, very distinctive.
Another lovely restoration Martin they were a very nice car very comfortable plenty of room inside a proper workhorse has were the austin maxis, my old dad had a 1800 but his was a green one I'd call it pea green very reliable went a lot of miles in that one he was sad when he'd sold it , good memories mate thanks as Always for great viewing 👍
I woke up in the morning and was thinking of something interesting to watch, and Martin has a new video :)))
Love the colour, beige and sandy colours were trendy in the 70s. 😂
Absolutely beautiful! Those cars were such a well thought out vehicle, it’s a pity they were never as popular as they should have been.
Another Lovely Restoration as always Martin, brings back a few memories.
Another fantastic restoration Martin 😊
Another great restoration Martin. It looks just right in the period Sandglow colour too.
Fantastic Job Martin. You did the right thing and going for a plain colour instead of the taxi.
That roof repair was terrific, Martin - not even a shadow there! The Sandglow was a mad colour, and hugely popular, along with Limeflower: you used to see all sorts resprayed in those two colours! Mark2 Zephyrs, Sunbeam Talbots... I even saw a Jowett Javelin once! The old Landcrab came up nicely without the minicab roof sign - I did a Vanguard Police Car as a standard motor, and added a roofrack, as a holiday trip motor.
I always spend my Sundays with Martin
Now that turned out to be a very pretty toy Martin. Great choice of colour. It goes well with the red interior. My inner child is envious.
That looks great. Colour looks spot on on my computer. Always look forward to Wednesday evening here in Australia to see what you have been up to this week.
Excellent job, Martin looking really good, looking forward to seeing your next restoration, love 1960s early 70s models so much more about them, all the best to you and your family.
Lovely resto Martin looks fantastic and that colour suits it brilliant
