O site AROnline conta a história deste modelo com bastante imparcialidade, as circunstancias não estavam de todo a favor do 3 Litre.
As 'ligeiras' alterações que o Martim Buckley pertende fazer serão estas?
"Once, the Austin 3-Litre slipped onto the market in late 1968, it sold disastrously – it never even reached the financial break-even point of 50 cars per week. In its three-year production run, a total of 9992 were produced and such was the magnitude of its failure, that the planned Wolseley version was dropped because it would have sold in negligible numbers. Some thought was given to the car’s development though, because plans were drawn up to install the ‘Rover’ V8 engine under the huge bonnet, but they were quickly shelved – the only prototype of note surviving was the V8-powered ADO61 that Harry Webster himself used.
