Maxi was a great car. If it was so shit why would the Japs copy the suspension and even share bits with the honda crx?
The massive flat floor, the way rear seats fold up to give more space and the low boot opening.
If bl had injected the 1850 it would have been better than the golf.

I am just going by the look of it. I was rather young at the time and it still gives me shivers 😂😂😂

I think my father had a Datsun at some stage - one where the door pillar went down with the windows. SSS may have been the model. Memory hazy as I was about 6 years old.
Edit - possibly one of these in navy blue -
My Dad had an 1850 Maxi, in the favoured soiled nappy beige, it became my first car for a princely £300. It had a gear change like stirring a bucket of stones with a stick. It didn't go wrong until the engine finally seized 3 years later and would carry five riders plus bikes to a race. Fond memories might be pushing it a bit (my next car was an 80 sport quattro), but I almost mourned its death.

Poverty spec in the USA in the 70s equates to millionaire status here.
I remember Austin Maxis - not something I think too much about now!
