Austin's large family car was another badge-engineered model, shared with Morris, and available as a Wolseley too. Like the 1100/1300, this was an enlargement of the Mini packaging and platform model. So it's FWD, with a huge amount of interior space, and balanced on a Hydrolastic system. In theory this should have made it a large car success story, in the mould of the smaller cars. It didn't though, probably due to its unsatisfying styling, and rather huge and empty feeling interior. Nicknamed the Landcrab, it had some success as an endurance rally car.
