First One Volvo followed by something along the lines of an Austin Maxi The yellow car is a Volvo Amazon Stationwagon and behind that either A Jaguar or Daimler |

Not too big like for the Maxi? |
|

Nope, the third sidewindow is typical for the maxi, the little boot-like thing suggest possibly a luxury version, I'd say Wolseley 18/85 or Six, as the Austin 1800/2200 and morris variations had either no boot or a much longer boot... -- Last edit: 2008-06-26 20:15:26 |

The bright red one is Datsun 100A wagon. |

The maxi was a hatchback, this one is a longer version with 'real' boot. In Denmark these were sold as Austin Windsor (1964-1966), Austin 1800 (1966+) or Morris Monaco (1966-1972)... I don't know if it will be possible to tell them apart... |

Kewl, both the Windsor and Monaco are new to me... I love learning new stuff .gif ":)") I went along the following link to find the Wolseley 18/85 name... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_1800 well, now we have four names... Hmmm.... must be a way to find out... Badge engineering, it's a crime.... -- Last edit: 2008-06-26 21:34:50 |

Apart from this being a 1968+ Mark II 'Landcrab' (the taillights don't lap round the rear fender) I don't think we can tell whether it's an Austin 1800 or a Morris Monaco (That was new to me too). Mike, do you know whether the Wolseley 18/85 was sold in Denmark? @Zophos1979: the crime is parking cars so we can't see the front ... ![[:crazy]](https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/images/smileys/crazy.gif "[:crazy]") |

You've missed some out, there was also a Wolseley Six, an Austin 2200 and a Morris 2200 using the ADO 17 bodyshell with six cylinder ohc engines. You still can't tell if this car is one of those. |

omg, this is getting rather weird, the Six was listed, but how many options can there be, just these 6 or even more? And is there definitely no way to distinguish based on the length of the boot, or are the images on wiki just misleading in that regard?? Or rather, am I seeing something that isn't there?? -- Last edit: 2008-06-26 22:58:50 |

Well, john from Staffs is right: I'd forgotten the 6-cylinder variants. The only help you can get from the length of the boot is to distinguish a Mk.I from a Mk.II; the Mk.I, seen from this angle, slopes more. The 'much longer boot' you mention, Zophos1979, actually belongs to the Austin 3-litre. If we're to be honest this isn't an 1800 unknown but simply an ADO17 unknown. -- Last edit: 2008-06-26 23:06:08 |

Maybe one of our Skandinavian contributors knows more of what was available in Denmark. Or Rpcm ? |

I'm not able to say more than that the Wolseley 18/85 and the Six can be excluded: the first because it had a side stripe and the second because it had Rostyle wheels. |

I'm sorry to have to say that the side-stripe is applicable only to the 1800S versions of the Austin, Morris and Wolseley, which had the engine in MGB twin carburettor tune, and not the Six, and that I have photographs of both the 18/85 and the Six with the standard steel wheels and stainless trims, and think that the Rostyle wheels were probably an extra, but you may be right for the export models of these cars. Both my father, and my father-in-law by coincidence had Wolseley 18/85S cars, and neither had Rostyle wheels. The Austin Three Litre Saloon using the centre section of the 1800 body with north south three litre engine and rear wheel drive was ADO61. -- Last edit: 2008-06-27 00:08:22 |

Actually, I didn't write the 18/85 had Rostyle wheels. I associated the side stripe to the 18/85 and the Rostyle wheels to the Six: "...the Wolseley 18/85 and the Six can be excluded: the first ( by the first I meant the 18/85 ) because it had a side stripe and the second ( by the second I meant the Six ) because it had Rostyle wheels." The period photos I saw of these models show these features. |

It is very impressive how you can write so clearly in a second language. Having the disadvantage of being English, I cannot even attempt such a thing. The stripe, about three cm. wide and made of a sort of plated plastic, was only fitted to the "S" models, which were versions of the MkII cars with the MGB type engine, power steering, and better interior trim. The Wolseley Six never had this stripe, but had a thin coach line painted on. We had, at home, a MkI Austin 1800, then a MkII Wolseley 18/85S, then a MkIII Morris 1800. When this came to be changed they had stopped building ADO17, and my father completely lost it and bought a Chrysler 2-litre! |

Definitely 1968+ Mk2. |
