Austin 1800
From AutocadeThe printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead. The first version of BMC’s ADO17 mid-size car to be launched, bearing an Austin badge. Originally intended to replace the Farina (Austin Cambridge) saloons but wound up a class too big, with sales suffering as a result. Very roomy—a lot of space for the length—and strong, but not what the British buying public expected. The 1800 fared somewhat better in Australia where its toughness was appreciated. A second-generation 1800 appeared for half a year in 1975 before being renamed Princess.
