    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.

    he he i thought it looked a bit too shiny for a car that had been parked for a few years . Any car that runs and is free is a amazing find.

    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" !!!
