Austin America 1969
Submitted by John Quilter, 2009

I have owned this car (1969 Austin America) since February 1971. It was my first car, purchased with 23,000 miles on it from Peninsula British Cars in Palo Alto for $1250. Now with just under 100K miles it sports its original paint, interior, and chrome and has never even had the cylinder head removed. One of the best handling cars I own with its Hydrolastic liquid suspension system, exceptionally roomy, and with a good sized trunk. A big brother of the BMC Mini it is a 1275cc A series engine with single SU carburetor and a four speed fully synchronized transmission mounted in the engine sump and sharing the same oil.
