Love these cars. There was a 2.2L six cylinder version too. That was a lovely thing. The Maxi was quite different although it used the same doors as the "landcrab". The Maxi was a smaller car with an OHC engine, five speed box and a hatchback. I would recommend looking up the TwinCam channel where Ed has covered all these cars in his excellent videos. I'm really looking forward to this series, Great stuff Adam.
There are so many reasons why I love this car!
And I really don't care what the haters say!
Peace and love brother ✌️ ❤️
Same here! I think they are brilliant. A small car but with a lot of room inside. It feel roomier and airier inside than my XJ6
Great guy I like your carfullness before attempting to start it I have owned 3 of these cars 2 mk 1s and 1mk 2 found them to be very reliable and get a bit sensitive when people refere to them as land crabs I am now 73 plus and still see them as the best car I have owned and I have owned around 140 cars in my time
My home country was N Z ❤
Austin 1800 - Landcrab owner / enthusiast 1970s !
I recharged the hydrolastic suspension on on her and Oh so many jobs!! - old git UK
I had a '77 Spitfire that I had a weak bladder in the fuel pump. I had to do that back feed priming trick, usually in the summer, when I think the heat caused it drain back. Once primed, it drove fine. I'm surprised I don't see more folks "priming the pump"
with these barn finds with mechanical pumps.
It’s a good way to get them to prime.
I wish more pumps had manual priming like diesel pumps have
what a great classic it is in great nick sounds awesome for its age nice job on getting it running cannot wait till next video
Great video. More on the crab please. Love to see a carb rebuild and full tune up.
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m waiting on the carb kit now
Hi Adam . Sounds sweet . People loved the cabin space as there was no gearbox or propellor shaft intrusion. But it really never sold well and it was a rare sight in the day . There was a in line 3litre which was very rare indeed . My late aunt had the 2.2 (?) 6 cylinder Wolesley . Thanks Adam
It's ALIVE!!! I thought at first it was a Mini on Instagrammy. (so I was 75% right) 😉
It's basically a mini haha Just a lot more room in it
Hi. I guess I was wrong about what led to the XJ40 sale.. or are you going to keep us guessing (tho I must admit to not having watched much since then).. willresume myemail to you soon! Best!!
This isn’t what led to the XJ40 sale, this car is just on loan from a friend. The replacement for the XJ40 is a Jaguar
@@LivingWithAClassic More roomy for us "Fat Americans" (guilty). I think they sold those in the US as the Austin America.
Loved this! My family had a Wolseley 18/85, but just the standard one, not the twin carb S, and we loved it. The dream version was the Wolseley Six with the E-series straight six but that one was unfortunately never imported into Sweden. Really looking forward to another Landcrab episode!
How cool that your family had one! Pretty rare cars over here in Sweden
Absolutely lovely cars, the Woolsey and the Vanden Plas were absolutely brilliant as the rest of the 1800s
They’re very neat. Sadly very rare over here, I’ve only seen about 3 the last few years
David . I don't think they made a Vanden Plas in this series .
I really like the look of the Land Crab!
They do look good!
Nice one Adam! And great to hear that you will bring in some other British classics to the channel, too. I have had my XJ6 S2 couple of years now and last August I bought Austin A35. Can’t wait to see which British classic you will start to work with!
I saw that B series engine and thought it looked familiar, I have the very same oil cap on my project MGB.
A Les Leston Grand Prix steering wheel! There was an Austin and Morris 1800S as well and the engine is the MGB tune unit. The standard single carb cars are also 4 speed manual. The automatics use a three speed Borg Warner 35 gearbox in the sump but I think* they were single carb only.
The wheel is really cool! Suits the car
@@LivingWithAClassic If you get the chance to drive a Leyland Princess (75-82) with the 2200 engine, you'd be surprised how well it drives.
Absolutely brilliant Adam looking forward to the next one
Thanks Rick!
I really love your troubleshooting videos like these. Methodical and on these old engines without electronics it's a breeze! What a great feeling it is when it runs on its own too, One product I discovered that beats anything on the market to pree up stuck parts and rusty bolts is Aerokroil, from the aviation industry. One can lasts forever and it's unbelievable. I use it on stuck carbs too.
Good job 👏
Thank you!
My dad had a new one back in the day
Cool!
Good job..
Thank you!
Hi Adam great video. Any chance you could do a video of the difference between the 1800 and the 1800S ?.
I was going to comment on instagram it looks like a front wheel drive Healey. I own a Healey and engine bay looked sideways so figured definitely front wheel drive small car. What a gem
It’s a great little car
Brilliant sounds like a sewing machine
It’s a sweet engine
Nice little car! Please take a bit of time to label correctly the + and - for the next person.
I will 😊
Think that is a Wolseley 1885, my sister had a brown automatic on that was previously owned by Manchester council, and was the mayor’s car.
Well yes it is. Says so I’m the first minute of the video
Basically an MGB engine.
You cannot backflush the fuel system with the pump connected due to the two one way valves in it.I made that mistake and had to remove the pump to refit the valves back correctly. That was on a 1984 Mini Mayfair ,same system, just a bit smaller and more inaccessible .
I don’t want backflush it, just prime it. With fuel on the diaphragm it’s easier for it to fill new fuel from the tanks
Now it pulls fuel as it should 😊
@@LivingWithAClassic Diaphragm! That's the word I was looking for! The one way valve weaken over time and let fuel seep back in into the tank. Putting in the line gives it just enough seal to pull. A mechanical well hand pump has the same issue.
Jag ska åka och hämta en bmc 1800s som stått sedan 1977 och det är en 67 så jag gillar den här filmen. Men jag byter olja innan jag provstartar den

1800s and the Maxis were very different cars they shared the doors and some of the engines And the maxi was a hatchback
Yes they were different but I would still call the Maxi an evolution of the 1800. It became a better and more thought out car and yes a hatchback
These evolved into the Princess, the Maxi was more of a sidestep with a completely new engine and transmission.
