Well I happen to own at this time a 1968 AA 4 door 1100 that is at my
other place at Coulee Dam
and it only has about 27,000 mi. on it . Can you guess what happened
to it? Oh yeah,, it is an automatic.

ALL Austin Americas sold in the US were 1275s (1300s) Before that they
were MG 1100s (1098s) There may have been a very few Austin 1100s but
I
am not aware of any. My father had an 1970 Austin America, it was a
nice
car until the hydro-spastic suspenion took a crap so he junked it
around
75.
5 years old, that ended his love affair with British cars. He had a
Nash
Healey, TR3, TR4A-IRS, and a Sprite which I bought off him (my first)
when he bought the AA. Then he bought a Mopar and once again he tried
small cars, he bought a chevy chovette and once again it was in the
junk
yard with 2 payments still owed on it.
