Honest and usable example of an Austin badged BMC 'Landcrab'
Finished in Grey over a Red leather interior
Owned by The Vendor for the last 2 years
5 former keepers
Great history on file


Auctioneer's Notes:

This 1965 Austin 1800 is a charming example of BMC’s innovative “Landcrab”, offered with an unusually extensive history file documenting much of its life.

The Vendor reports that the car has recently benefitted from five new tyres and a new battery, and is accompanied by a large collection of paperwork dating back to the 1970s.

It was recorded as a Category C insurance write-off in 2015; however, the previous keeper advised that this was due to the requirement for a replacement wing, with the repair cost at the time deemed to exceed the vehicle’s value.

Maintenance & Condition:

The accompanying history is far too substantial to list in full, but includes a notable Austin Morris Passport to Service booklet showing nine recorded services between 1974 and 1979.
