For its latest outing, our four-door Austin 1300 GT is registered JMA 849L from 1972. The authentic paint scheme is typical of the marque, appearing here in a muted green shade with its black ‘vinyl’ roof. The interior seating is moulded in a slightly lighter yellowy green shade,  Its GT logo features in red and silver on the radiator grille and its 1300 GT status is also printed on the offside of the boot. The interior is black, as is the chassis and the broad black and silver stripe associated with the GT appears along both sides.  

The Austin 1300 was designed by the legendary Issigonis – say no more!
