I might be getting a car!!

Its a blue 1974 Austin Maxi... offered for free in the newspaper.

I rung up the people selling it and they said it had been parked for a few years, but it was running good and well when they parked it.

Heres a pic of what it will look like!

However this will only be a paddock car

I'm not sure if it was be registerable, i'll have to wait till I possibly go and check the car out tomorrow. Probably a bit rusted.

Make sure that you drive it as hard as you can until it simply cannot drive anymore.

Well i'm not absolutely sure it runs. Battery might be stuffed. I'm not sure. I'll get back to you all.

Thnking it throughtS-R. As I'd said, not a lot of Maxi's around. It might be worth getting it for free and then calling around and see if any collector wanted to restore a Maxi. Like I said, not a lot around, but plenty of bits !! Heel over here even Marina's get talked about as a "classic" !!!
