Austin 1800 and 2200

The Austin 1800 is the Austin badged version of the BMC ADO17, the front wheel drive larger family car that BMC launched in September 1964, informally known because of its exceptional width as the Landcrab. It was voted European Car of the Year for 1965. It was unconventional in its appearance, with a large glasshouse and a spacious minimalist interior, and a ribbon speedometer. The Mark II came in May 1968, the Mark III in 1972, and a 2.2 liter version as the Austin 2200. This site gives every generation and every model year its own page, in 3 generations: the Mark I (1964 to 1968); the Mark II (1968 to 1972); the Mark III and 2200 (1972 to 1975).
