Ahh! The good old Austin All Aggro, I owned only one of them, not quite sure how anyone managed to own two of them?
Mine was the colour of baby shit, that nasty fawny beigey colour.
To be fair my first All Aggro only cost me £50 with a years MOT on it. It was baby shit brown too. It only lasted about six weeks before it blew up. Went well though. 1750 sport (with square steering wheel...)
As I needed a car rather urgently I ended up buying another one as the Capri I was eyeing up had been sold 10 minutes before I got there. This time I had bought the Vanden Plas 1500 version! Oooh very posh :rollin It was actually a nice car. Broke down just about every week for the year I owned it. Drove me crazy with all the things that went wrong with it.
This was the last time it broke down on me. In the friggin middle of no-where with an hours walk to the nearest house with a telephone. I had it repaired and I took it straight to the auctions and got rid!

Ha ha ha!
Love the picture, I had a Morris Miner van years ago, it was my mobile tool shed when I was working away from home in a place call Shepton Mallet near Glastonbury. One Friday as I was coming home the exact same thing happened on a left hand turn (Junction) I was was only doing about 3 or 4 MPH just pulling away, one of the other guys from the site was following me so we loaded all my stuff into his van, ripped the number plates off the old Moggy thou and drove away and left it on the junction. I don't think I will hear anything about it now as that was in 1977.
