In the beginning there was the Austin; the Morris version came along two years later. And Crayford also got in on the act...

ADO17 drives into picture postcard scenery - SHOCKER!

Wonderful period image. Note the absence of traffic, the woman's dress and the MkI Escort in the background. Those were the days!

Crayford 1800 Estate

Alongside their trademark convertibles, Crayford were beginning to produce "estate car" conversions in the 1960s, the more apposite term "hatchback" not really having been coined at this stage. The Crayford 1800 Estate offered up to 100 cu ft of load space, and could be ordered as a full conversion (seen here) for £180, or without the rear hatch for half that cost. In 1975, Crayford gave the new wedge-shaped 18-22 series the same treatment (see the Princess gallery).
