There's not enough room on the internet to list the problems that I had with mine. And that, like your father's, was a 1978 on a T plate.

This looks more like an earlier than T plated Maxi with hydrolastic displacers in the boot and vinyd rather than velour seat finish. ;)

I believe you can fit adaptors to allow you to fit hydrolastic displacers in an hydragas subframe. ;)

I think that one was for sale on the Maxi Club website a couple of years ago, but I've not seen it since. :( Here's my latest find, at a local meet. :- https:/...

This week I have seen not one but two Austin Maxi's in Bury one in brown and the second in a fetching shade of orange.
Here's my 1980 russet brown one. :-

Re: Cleaned up pretty good.

I bought a towbar for my Maxi a few weeks ago and the car the hitch came off had a gaping hole in the roof. You still got the Maxi? The towbar I got for Julie doesn't seem as easy to fit as previous ones. Do you know what make yours is/was? https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4884/45852572054_93e85b4f36...

Re: New Fords

what about the hardboard that BL used on the Maxi (and others)? Most of the ones I saw were starting to rot after two or three years. On that subject I'm missing the os boot trim in my '74. :( Anyone have one in the back of their garage? ;) https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1865/42976859010_420cfa18c0...
