I must admit I owned a Maxi for a number of years. Quite a good car really, handled like the Mini's bigger brother, and a bit like driving an armchair. Made a good RAC rally follow vehicle, although 1000 miles, 9 stages and less than 8 hours sleep in total is a bit silly and not even possible these days with office hour rallys. I very much doubt though it makes any sense as an old vehicle, and I'd be surprised if that one had secure and non-rusted jacking points.

New Tue 15 Apr 14 09:55   Seen on E-Bay (mainly !) - Volume 13 - Fenlander

I'm very wary of so called full restoration jobs as owners of such cars often panic if anyone goes near the original jacking points to lift the car.

I find it difficult to disassociate a car with my emotional state at the time that I owned the car. And when I owned that Maxi I was having a good time. A very good time indeed. True, the left hand windscreen wiper did have a habit of flying off, and I was so poor I used to stop and pick it up; including one time around 1:00am at Heston Services on the M4, but I was having a great time with life.

Austin Maxis always make me think of 1970s soft porn mags. A friend's dad had a Maxi and we discovered that he hid his Norman Vaughn in the garage where he also kept his Maxi. Funny how things things leave a lasting impression.

>>1970s soft porn mags. I had a lovely looking girlfriend called Carol - I was besotted. Her Father was a peculiar man, very short and really napoleon-ish with a massive chip on his shoulder. He kept a bunch of 70s Porn (dodgy wigs, wide collars, lots of loud breathing) on film in his shed along with a projector. Once watched some of it with the Girlfriends brother and encountered a video of said short Father with fat next door neighbour. To this day I can't help but feel that garden sheds are a bit dodgy.

The sad thing is that cars are inevitably all converging on the same "perfect" answer. So their differences are becoming less and less obvious. When I was young it was about a 30 minute walk to where we caught the school bus from, and with my mother's enthusiasm for punctuality she dispatched us with considerable time to spare. My friend Peter (who had an equally enthusiastic parent) and I used to while away the 15 minutes and amuse ourselves at the bus stop identifying cars from headlamps and sound as they came toward us - I have to assume that would be a pointless and disappointing game these days since they all look the same. Clearly the "perfect answer" does not include character or individuality. And the Marina, awful though it may have been, had character. As did the Maxi, the Cortina, the Herald, the Rover P6, the Viva etc etc. These days I would happily swap some effectiveness for some character. The Chevy Custom 10 Deluxe Pickup is now running and I have high hopes of using it as transport soon. (the one I found at the same time as the MG1300 and the bus). At least, the engine is running. For the 50 metres its actually traveled it was tied to my Landcruiser. Last edited by: VxFan on Mon 19 May 14 at 01:43

I had a 131 in between a Lancia Beta saloon and a 2.0 HPE. I didn't like it much, although as mine was an older one it had the rather awful pushrod engine. I preferred the Lancias, anyway. Funnily enough it came to a sticky end against the NSL sign as you leave your manor. There's a ditch just behind it, or at least there was, and it resided there for a week or two until the authorities gave up hope of finding out who owned it and took it away.

What a lousy paint job! :-/

Looks a nice straight motor to me. The paint job isn't bad either. Rust look! Of course you'd have to drive it, look at the state of the fluids and so on to know for sure how straight it was.

I am sure it is a straight motor. The description comes over as thoughtful and honest to me.

Strange paint job. Looks as if seagulls have used it for target practise. They've been pretty accurate from the side.

Strange gulls down your way, JB. Or is it just unusually windy there? };---) Last edited by: WillDeBeest on Sun 12 Oct 14 at 18:02

James Bond's Lotus Esprit Submarine Car www.ebay.com/itm/151431182675 I think they're being a bit ambitious with the price.

It will fail to rise to that price. It will resurface again later.

Nice BT, very nice indeed.

Yes. But the fast one, and fragile one, was the rarer and rarer RS1800. Rarer and rarer and rarer. The cooking one was almost as fast, much more likely to run when required and obviously the thing to have. Getting a bit dear looks like. I bet there are a few forged ones, and a few other really good bitza specials. It was a golden age for Ford, couldn't make a crap model. Still remember the eager bellow of the cousin-in-law's white Mexico down a short A29 incline, up to 100 and back no problemo. And to think the Mexico was the off-the-peg punter's version! Nice motor it is. I wonder how many good ones there are now.
