Sir Alex Issigonis’ favourite car. Written by an acknowledged motoring expert, this is a highly informative account of an innovative and award-winning car.
First launched in 1964 as the Austin 1800, this was the largest car designed by Sir Alec Issigonis in the late 1950s, following the successful Mini and 1100. In this book, motoring writer James Taylor explores the many innovations in this range of cars that would help it to win the European Car of the Year Award in 1965 and develop a loyal following among classic car enthusiasts today.
As the book shows, the car had an enormous amount of interior space, partly due to its front-wheel-drive design and spartan interior. Other features included hydroelastic suspension. The author describes the Mk I, Mk II and Mk III models, including production changes and press reactions, as well as the cars assembled in Australia. The book also covers involvement in motor sport, where the strong chassis and square design contributed to its success, including the London—Sydney Marathon 1968 and the London—Mexico World Cup Rally 1970. The book also covers the various conversions and badged versions, including Wolseley and Vanden Plas.
