Frank:
Holy smokes, an Austin America? My sister bought one in 1971, mostly
because she thought my Sprite was "cute" and it had the same engine and was
made by the same company and etc., etc. She took it to college at the
University of Oregon. She liked it except when the suspension would go flat
and the local mechanics would all scratch their heads trying to figure out
the "weird Brit car."
Don't see to many of them anymore.
Regards,
Jim Algar
