1966 Austin 1800 ad


Colloquially known as the "Landcrab", the BMC ADO17 was the model code used by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) for a range of cars produced from September 1964 to 1975 and sold initially under its Austin marque as the Austin 1800. The car was also sold as the Morris 1800 and Wolseley 18/85, and later as the Austin 2200, Morris 2200 and Wolseley Six. In Denmark it was sold as the Morris Monaco. 

This advertisement for Australia can be dated accurately as it gives the price in dollars, which Australia changed its currency to in February 1966, with the non-decimal equivalent in brackets.
