1980 Austin Hire Car Description

1981 Austin Hire Car. Not to be confused with the less desirable London Cab which has a Taxi light on top and meter. 2.5L High Speed Diesel, 4 speed manual transmission, power brakes, 4 door, all steel construction, under 500 original miles.

This one owner vehicle was purchased new from the factory dealer in London in 1981, shipped by container and delivered to San Francisco. Put on display at a restaurant and has only 487 original miles. Interior in new condition, jack and tool kit in trunk. Currently licensed and Titled in Montana. The original license plate from England has never been removed from the car and is included with purchase.

There is a fold down jump seat on front left side if needed. A sliding window is located behind the driver for guest privacy. Separate heater in back for passenger comfort.

Recently the engine was fine tuned by a mechanic and the vehicle runs great as it should. It has power brakes but no power steering. It steers easily enough and is one less maintenance issue. Does not have AC but windows open easily.

I'm listing this vehicle for the eighty-eight year old original owner who is a friend of mine who entrusted me to sell his prized possession. This vehicle would be perfect for a Limo Service or bed and breakfast/small hotel for a transport/sight seeing, fun vehicle.

There are a few very minor scratches on body mostly on doors. Vehicle has always been stored in heated garage and covered and will remain inside until picked up by new owner.
