    My Dad bought one brand new out of the showroom. It wasn't a good car. With union strikes, and the BL quality control issues that eventually brought down the company. He kept it less than two years and traded it to the local Volvo dealer who reluctantly took it in part ex. Your lucky to find one in any condition. 😎😎

    I am going to have to try to get that song from Graham Fellows' most famous creation out of my head, as although it is a beige 1.7 L, it is an A reg!

    Austin Ambassador in hearing aid beige!
    Looks like the previous owner used it as a storage box, some useful stuff in there though, always nice to have notes scribbled in an old Haynes Manual.

    Ah the Ambassador, hated by many, brings back fond memories i have of one i owned back in 2006 im sure it was, a 1.7 L, i was given it as a welding project on the understanding i would save it and keep it on the road which i did. Remember the 150 mile drive home in it, very comfy, didnt break down either. ! Good luck with the project

      Cheers Lee. I'm impressed so far... next once Ive body suited up, I'll be cleaning that interior which should come up with a decent scrub. Lots to do yet!
