1965 (C) Austin 1800 MK1 SOLD

Just arrived in part exchange with us here at RFH Classics we have this 1965 Austin 1800 MK1 finished in Police White with Red Leather Trim. This car, affectionately also known as the Land Crab is a 3 owner car which was first registered Wilsons Automobiles Brixton on the 4th of June 1965 to a Mrs Churchill from Surrey who owned the car until 1984 where it was sold to its second owner who went on to own the car until early 2021 and only decided to let the car go due to lack of use. The mileage of 55, 278 has been confirmed as genuine and she has also been MOT tested annually until last year when it in storage over the covid period. There is a little bit of work to do to the car but its a great basis to start with and nice to have low owners and miles.

The MK1 model of the land crab is becoming quite rare nowadays and when launched in 1964 represented the first series of larger front wheel drive BMC's cars to run alongside their smaller 1100 & 1300 models. They are also slightly more luxurious than later cars such as two-tone interiors, leather seating and a few other minor differences to MK2 and MK3 models.

The car has lasted well and although it's not perfect, the condition can genuinely be described as very good with no structural problems, unsightly damage or bodged up bodywork. We are told the car had paint in the late 80's and its lasted well with only minor bits and pieces starting to require some isolated rectification but overall, the Austin is smart, clean and tidy. Underside is very solid, and the outer sills are in good shape with nothing of any significance

The interior is in good shape and as far as we can see everything works as it should including the factory radio and is a great basis to become a Austin 1800 owner. This is eligible for zero historic road tax making a very cost effective classic to own. We welcome customers to have an independent inspection carried out for additional peace of mind.
