My Dad had a couple, he loved them.....
One of the first cars with 5-speed gearbox IIRC, but changing gear was like stirring a Christmas pudding. Always let the clutch out gently in the hope that you'd selected fifth and not third...

A good workhorse and quite roomy back in the 70's but look so small now.

I have fond memories of my uncle in his red 1750 HL,sracing my dad in his Jamaica Yellow mk 1 Cav. Much as I like the Cav the Maxi beat him especially on top end. Gearbox was porridge. But underneath was flat as a pancake for aerodynamics, really amazing to see. Thanks to unions BL was toast very soon after.
