The Austin Maxi is the Epitome of British Leyland's Genius and Failure

Video Description

Of all British Leyland's weird and wonderful cars, none quite epitomise the simultaneous genius and failure as Alec Issigonis' last car - the Austin Maxi. With its transverse engine, front-wheel drive, Hydrolastic suspension, five-speed gearbox, and five-door hatchback body style, the Maxi was ten years ahead of all the competition, providing part of the blueprint of the modern family car.
