Classic Austin 1300 estate.
Examples of the ADO16 are getting rarer despite them being a best seller for many years in the 1960s. Terminal rot has seen most of them off. Estates like this one (fitted with the 1275cc A Series engine) are definitely a rare sight even in 1100/1300 club circles.
Austin Books Whether for the 1300 estate as shown below, or any other type of Austin, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

1300 estate on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular 1300 estate, or 1300 estates in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Austin shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
