From the seller: “Up for sale today is this 1979 Austin Maxi, it comes with keys, V5 Logbook, some paperwork and manuals along with a boot full of spare parts. Clocks show 78,840 miles which we believe is genuine. It has been off the road dry stored as part of a large private collection since 1995 and is in need of general recommissioning/restoration.

The front end is badly damaged. Corrosion ...
