A few that I have spotted over the last few days.

I think this may be the second time of listing recently. Last year it was in the hands of the Doctor so could be big money wanted here. Looks top drawer though.

This one's in County Down, really like the look of it

We don't seem to talk about Maxis much. Here is an early one

There are a few more out there too,
The Iron Lady film Wolseley is back up for sale,
plus one newly listed on the LOCI site needing a little love from a new owner who can do bodywork.

Thanks Chris; what's his secret I wonder for tracking them down?

Three real rarities all put up for sale in one day. Morris 1800S, Austin 2200 and Austin 3 Litre. The 3 Litre is a 1968 car to boot. It's a bargain and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes in 24 hours.

Sills look decidedly dodgy. 3 Litre must be a bargain. Lovely. Chris.

That 1800 S looks so lovely (reminds me to pull out my own 1800 in the same colour from years of slumber).

Also the early Maxi looks very neat - these are now very rare, I think there are 4 in the club.

That red 3litre looks a good buy at the price, given the engine is really a rebuild or new unit. But it still needs some work to get up to scratch (like sill cover panels missing).

I thought all UK 2200 Austin/Morris had this fake wood dash, and only the export 2200s got the Wolseley's dashboard?

Regards,

Alexander

Yes, we are lucky in the UK but even by our standards these are rare vehicles. There are less than 10 2200s on the UK roads with a similar number recorded off road. The 1800S is about the same. The first Landcrab I looked at was a Morris 1800S identical to the one here; should have bought it....

2200s had the faux wood dash, or at least that is all I've ever seen. Though I like originality I would definitely upgrade to Walnut if it were available.

Stumbled on this one by accident. Richard Edmonds Auctions on 28th Sept, no reserve. Rostyle wheels too, though wrong tyres surely.

Another couple on the Bay going though bidding as I write. I know some people liken these to old buses, but you never see one and then three come along at once....

As well as your £100 you'll need a trailer (and possibly a shovel). I've never seen a Mk1 on a 'G plate' before though.

back on again. Second week. Failed to reach reserve last weekend, bid to £4500. It's a nice one though, and a complete contrast to to the one before it on this thread.

Another one from the same Gumtree seller as the dead 1800 Mk1. took me a while to land on this Wolsey (sic) due to the spelling.

Snoopy, Good point though I think asking prices are running ahead of what vehicles are actually selling for. I am now a seasoned watcher of cars that share the Landcrab's doors (not the Panther though) and some of the top price examples seem to be moving around the trade rather than landing with real new owners. The blue 1800 FGW835 has had three separate trade sellers in the last 2 years. The asking price is £6000.
