John Shuttleworth Y reg

[martyb2]

truly a legend lol

[salmirza]

The Ambassador achieved domestic sales of 43,427 in the two years which it was available. Of these 43,427, only around 250 are thought to be still on-the-road (although the number SORN is unknown). These sales figures however are still somewhat lower than that of its successor, the Montego, which despite being hit by strikes at Cowley and Longbridge remained a strong seller and achieved sales of 436,000, albeit over a longer era.

[Alembic25]

Lets be clear about this. I actually owned a maroon y reg Austin Ambassador and they were - without a shadow of doubt - totally shite. It's the sort of car your Dad would always say "Bloody good cars they were..." about.

[joegrafter]

@Alembic25 ha to true, my dad had a silver ambassador and still go's on how great it was

[Alembic25]

You know what I mean. Don't listen to a word of it.
