That 14/60 is a good two-tone contender Neil
Maroon and that off-white looks absolutely ace...

the land crab was the Austin 1800, but they also did a stretchy version named the Austin 3.0lt, did they every do a Wolseley version of the 3.0ltdaviemck2006 wrote:Was it not the land crab that was the 18/22? My dad had a 1977 princess 2200 HLS. A big comfortable 2.2 litre with a velour interior and comfortable not steel suspension. A bit like my first c5 lol

The 3.0 land lobster was a different car entirely , being RWD while the smaller landcrabs were FWD. I believe it shared the doors and mid-section with the smaller crabs, but nowt else.
This car is a brilliant example of why we have no car industry left in the UK. A parts-bin special that was 10 years out of fashion when it was released....
There was no Wolseley version, thank heavens.

Oh dear, the poor old land-crab has hd a bit of a mauling. Still in 1965 it managed to scoop the European Car of the Year title
And guess what, in Autocar's picture special of all of the winners from 1964 onwards, The 1800 they select is in 2-tone! What are the chances of that happening?
Full autocar picture gallery here, includes wins for XM, GS as well

....Number 16
How about a contender from Regie? Guess what was car of the year in 1966, the year after the Austin 1800.

Re: Can you link numbers 1-24 with interesting cars?
The Renault 16 was a fantastic car...
A real game changer to use a modern term...
I think, the first hatchback as we now know them even though BMC could have made one much before that with the 11/1300 and the Landcrabs...

This car is captioned "Autobianchi Primula" but does look a bit like the "sound thrashing" car from Fawlty TowersCitroJim wrote: I think, the first hatchback as we now know them even though BMC could have made one much before that with the 11/1300 and the Landcrabs...
