A truly underrated piece of British automotive engineering is the humble Austin Maxi - launched as British Leyland's mid-sized family car in 1969. While the Maxi couldn't match the Ford Cortina in terms of sales, it excelled in clever design, featuring front-wheel drive, a hatchback body, and a five-speed gearbox, all up to a decade before these features became popular! #mpc #classiccars #austin | Manor Park Classics

The Mini Clubman came along at around the same time the Austin Maxi was launched, so the Mini Clubman has the same front appearance, styling, to the Maxi. It was a bit like a miniature Maxi? The 1275 GT is probably one of the best Mini models of the era, they were pretty cool! Especially with the writing down the doors, plus the slightly bigger engines. Renault had launched the Renault 5, Fiat had shown us the 127 which had a sporty 'Sport' version. Datsun were importing the Cherry and Sunny for

The Austin Maxi, a medium sized, 5 door hatchback family, built by Austin, under British Leyland, sold between 1969 and 1981. Designed by Alec Issigonis who had designed the Mini a decade earlier, it was Britain's first family hatchback, also one of the first to feature a 5 speed manual gearbox. But things were changing, Datsun, Toyota, Mazda, Renault and Volkswagen were quickly chasing the hatchback market. #dvsphotographyandfilm #voitureancienne #oldtimercars #metro6r4 #rover800 #mgbgtv8 #mini
