Revision as of 12:52, 18 March 2008Austin Maxi (ADO14). 1969–80 (prod. 422,084 not incl. 1980). 5-door saloon. F/F, 1485, 1748 cm³ (4 cyl. OHC). Much-anticipated Austin from merged British Leyland with interesting hatchback concept: seats could fold down to form two beds, and exceptionally roomy. However, hampered by carryover doors from BMC 1800 ‘Landcrab’, making it look dated on launch, and not unlike a hatchback version of the older car. Underpowered with heavy steering originally; fixed somewhat with 1748 cm³ unit from 1971, including twin-carburettor versions.
