Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 19, 2008 12:31 pm) Yes - that was quick. Launched in 1967, but dropped in 71, the Austin 3 Litre was a flop - about 10000 were built, but it never caught on. Based on the FWD Austin 1800 body shell, the 3 litre had a straight six engine, but was RWD, and too bulky and clumsy to sell - it was aimed at the Austin Westminster market, but apart from a few police forces nobody wanted it...

Replying to: magnette (Sep 19, 2008 12:39 pm) It is sort of goofy-looking. But I can see it as a police car, very easily. Was it as expensive as the Rovers and Volvos of the day? Replies to this message: magnette (Sep 19, 2008 2:41 pm)

Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 19, 2008 1:14 pm) It would have been comparable to the basic Rover 2000, or the Volvo 144, I suppose, although the latter wouldn't have been a natural choice then as a police car - being foreign.

Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 19, 2008 7:06 pm) I agree - it's a 1963 Dodge Dart - I think it's a "270' model by the side ornament.
