dsl ◊ 2020-10-02 22:59	Normal default would be Austin 1100 Mk III, but as this is Greece there's a good chance it's the 1974+ Austin de Luxe made by Authi with 998cc as the last new normal body ADO16 version launched anywhere in the world. Alongside Spain, it was also sold in DK and Greece, and apparently quite successful in those markets. There is a problem with the de Luxe that no-one seems totally sure what format black grille it had. ARonline says it used 3 bar 1300, but our only other de Luxe (in DK) has a 2 bar GT-ish pattern. And I'm not sure what the grille here is - may even have lost its bars. However I'm unsure if this is a UK colour.
