Hi,
I have a complete engine from a Mk II. The engine was running great (but body was hit in rear and not worth saving). I already have two Mk II's and I need the garage space.

The head is worth $$$ so anyone with $100 can have the whole engine/tranny. Must have ute/trailer and pick up from bayside area Brisbane.

Thanks, CM - send Clyde an email if you're interested!



Be warned, MG owners are buying up uncracked heads.

Most items are for the Mk I but there are a few items for the Mk II and some Mk I items will fit the Mk II as well.

18/85 Power Steering
Power steering set up ex 18/85.
Parts comprise
a) Steering column

b) Steering rack

c) Generator with power steering pump and fluid reservoir
d) Hoses


Power steering was overhauled about 10 years ago by Penshurst Power Steering in Sydney. Car was taken off road  unexpectedley a few months later and power steering removed  from vehicle and stored in garage since. I do not know if  seals etc need to be changed or any other reconditioning is  needed after virtually no use but lengthy storage. Currently located in Melbourne.Will transport to Sydney for Sydney buyer.

I am told that power steering will fit Mk11 1800 as steering  geometry is same as for UK power steer cars whereas Mk1's  have different upper suspension arms therefore is not  interchangeable with Mk1.

$500

For Sale Austin 1800 Landcrab signs

Grab one of these top quality signs for your wonderful classic Landcrab. They are great to take along to car club meetings or simply hang one in your garage or driveway.

These are quality painted steel signs and are far nicer than some of the signs you see that are made from plastic, with stick on lettering.

It goes without saying that signs like these will give you that 'special pride' in the ownership of one of the most under-rated cars ever produced in the twentieth century.

Your purchase will also help keep this website alive. Part of  the proceeds are used to maintain this valuable resource for all Landcrab owners and enthusiasts.

Visit our shop and you will also find other items for sale for your classic Landcrab

Hi John,

Just to let you know that I have sold the 1800. Please remove my ad on the website.

Many thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Quin Ledden.
