AUSTIN 1100/1300 RANGE
2-door 4-seater saloon, 4-door 4-seater saloon, 2-door estate.
Second family of Issigonis-inspired front-wheel drive masterpieces, making much more money for BMC than the Mini ever did. Same basic transverse engine/transmission pack as Mini, but with front disc brakes and Hydrolastic suspension connected front to rear. Pininfarina style, also badged as Morris, Riley, Wolseley, etc. Rust-prone, and no 'classic' value today. Replaced progressively by allegro from 1973.
