Austin Maxi

[oldginger]

OK guys, anyone following my Voyager problems will know my affection for the Maxi. Today I purchased one in reasonable condition. !976 with full history  and historic status. I also purchased 3 weeks ago a 1991 Rover 214 sohc 8v carburettor model. They both have the same things in common. Muscle toning steering, windows etc, no central locking or immobiliser and above all else NO  NAFF COMPUTER. Still waiting for some competent auto tech to fix my Voyager, in the mean time I am enjoying real motoring, and with all the things that's happened to me this year this touch of happy days is very welcome. Stay safe, regards Roy.

Buy/get yourself a small MIG welding set and you'll keep the Maxi running forever.

Hi all, picked up Maxi  yesterday and drove 97.5 miles back home, it did'nt  miss a beat and kept up with the traffic well. It has full history and all bills and receipts. Lots of admirers at stop on way back. Had another good look round it today and a couple of cosmetic jobs to do  otherwise, very good condition. I am not anticipating any welding for quite a while, it is Ziebarted from new and some usual rust points where dealt with a couple of years back. I had my first one from 75 to 81 and rust was not an issue. I am really desperate for someone with the right gear to get my voyager electrics and ecu  reconnected and running. Needs to be mobile and in the Cheltenham area. Help and advice much appreciated, regards Roy.
