In 1978 all Maxi models had Hydragas suspension in place of the Hydrolastic system, which required a revised front subframe. A prototype of a booted version had been built, badged as a Morris, but it was not put into production since the booted extension made the Maxi almost the same size as the 1800 model, which was itself replaced in March 1975 by the 18-22 series models, renamed the Princess. The Hydragas system replaced Hydrolastic.
