Are those cup holders in the inside of the glove box lid in the last photo of that Austin?

My uncle had a Peugeot 404 (same basic design as the Austin as they were both styled by Pininfarina) and that car was quite well equipped for a car from way back then as compared to what the Japanese had on offer.

somehow the Pug versin of the Farina shape looks so much better than the Morris / Austin
15k not bad at all, if it has the original engine

Hey Tuners! I have seen two v8 Land Rover Defenders Series3 Stage1s SWB for sale in the space of two months. The sellers have claimed that there were only 24 made worldwide with the short wheel base. Were they ever so rare? Find it kinda incredible and hard to believe since I think there are at least three in the country. Can anyone with knowledge shed some light? If that's really the case, these machines going cheap.

They were originally ordered / built for the Jamaican police force and a few ended up here. That's all.

there were 3 500SEC AMG IIRC, Jasmine Boodram's (all black logos/badges with "Jasmine" on the right of the trunk) Dennis Davidson's and Wayne Pirally. rspann may be able to confirm. There were also quite a few other "regular" SECs of that era. Definitely one car I'd like to own someday

The most original and unadulterated Nissan 200SX I've seen in a while. Was a hurried pic.
