The Mark I was externally identical to the British 15/60 and was an upmarket version of the contemporary Austin Freeway, with different front and rear styling to maximise the perceived difference between the two cars. Its engine was a six cylinder form of the 1,622 cubic centimeter B series, known as the Blue Streak, with 2,433 cubic centimeters and 80 horsepower, and the gearbox was a three speed manual adapted from the Nash Metropolitan. Its model years run from 1962 to 1964.
