Nice well kept example!! Check out "The Stone Tape 1972 (1/11)" on here for some period footage of an early cable-change (I think) teal-blue austin maxi being driven around by Jane Asher!!!
Smaller than a Focus, more room inside than a Mondeo.... BL were years ahead of the game, shame it all went tits up for BL in the end!
Lovely car, there's memories of my childhood, my parents had three Maxis during my early years (early 80s). Always been my fave car that they had - I want one myself nowadays!
I bought her off George Wright her first owner Lynmouth Avenue Chelmsford,
he bought her brand new November 20th 1970.. Banisters Garage, Chelmsford build number 757!! George can always remember the cable-changers parked longways on and it was in the centre of the showroom when new.. it was the first 1750 in Essex
Its the oldest Maxi rod-change 1750 known in the owners club!!
I restored her in 2001 with a new front panel and two genuine wings..
Little did he know that a few months later it would be his!..Very nice.

First car I ever had back in 1984 ( a J-reg 1971 model ) and it was the same colour as yours ; limeflower green!
The gearbox was crap and it was a rustbucket, but it handled fab and had ACRES of room for 5 people plus mountains of luggage!
Yours looks a peach still and it makes me quite envious!
I would have NEV 822J back again just to be DIFFERENT from all the other sheeple.

This reminds me of my Grandma's Maxi - hers was the same year.
