AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Austin Kimberley X6 is a super rare Aussie saloon, believed to be the only one in the UK. It features a 2-litre, six-cylinder engine, has been converted to run on unleaded fuel, and comes with a file of receipts and documents, making it a unique find for collectors.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in lovely condition with a respray in 1998 that has held up well, although there are some watermarks to the paint. The chromework is nice, and the cream vinyl roof looks pretty fresh. The seats present well with no obvious rips and tears, and the headlining is tight and clean. The dash appears all original save for a more modern radio cassette. This suggests moderate wear on the exterior, but overall solid condition, bringing the rating to a 6.

The Austin Kimberley was a mid-sized car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), later British Leyland, between 1970 and 1972.
It was developed as an upmarket version of the BMC ADO17 series - better known as the ‘Landcrab’ - and was specifically designed for the Australian market.
Introduced alongside its sibling, the Austin Tasman, the Kimberley featured a more refined design with a squared-off front end and a six-cylinder version of the E-series engine, making it more powerful than the original ADO17 models.
Built at BMC’s Zetland plant in New South Wales, the Kimberley aimed to compete with popular local saloons such as the Holden Kingswood and Ford Falcon.
Despite its advanced front-wheel-drive layout and spacious interior, the Kimberley struggled to gain significant market share and production ended in 1972.
We are delighted to offer this 1971 Austin Kimberley in brown / cream with cream interior.
