AUSTIN 1300 ESTATE MK3

From the seller: “I HAVE JUST PULLED THIS OUT OF A FIELD WHERE IT WAS LEFT TO ROT AWAY I WAS GOING TO STRIP FOR PARTS BUT IT JUST LOOKED WAY TO GOOD TO STRIP SO I AM GOING TO LET SOMEONE BE LUCKY AND RESTORE THIS CAR BACK TO ITS GLORY DAYS

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS WORK DOES NEED DOING BUT ITS NOT MUCH THE FRONT FLOOR SECTION NEEDS SOME ATTENTION AND THE SILLS AND REAR WHEEL ARCHES BUT THE CHASSIE LOOKS SOLID AND FRONT AND BACK SUB FRAMES ARE ALSO COMPLETE AND ROT FREE THIS IS A COMPLETE CAR AND THE ENGINE HAS ONLY COVERED 56K MILES FROM NEW. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK WE GOT IT RUNNING TO MAKE SURE THE ENGINE WAS FINE AND IT WAS, SOMEONE HAD STARTED TO WORK ON THIS CAR BUT MUST OF GIVEN UP AT THE START. IT ALSO COMES WITH ALL THE SPARE PARTS YOU SEE IN THE OTHER PHOTOS TO MAKE IT COMPLETE THE CAR LOOKS TO BE LEANING TO THE DRIVERS SIDE I JUST THINK IT NEEDS THE HYDROELASTIC SPHERE LOOKING AT A OR MAYBE THE PIPES NEED REPLACING.”
