The Austin America, a personal favourite of mine. Why? Well its basically a much more advanced version of the standard Austin. Looking at the front, we see that the normal black grille badge has been replaced by a badge with a white background saying "Austin America". We also use the side trims which are somewhat similar to those found on the GT, however they are stainless steel in the middle, complete with the "Austin America" stamp and reflective strip on the front.

The, slightly lower, black over-riders seem to add more character to the car, and make the bumper look more balanced. On other versions the bumper appears to be top heavy.

On cars produced between 1970-71 was a Charcoal Canister. The canister is filled with Charcoal granules, and stores vapours from the fuel tank, as well as vapours from the engine when the car is turned off. When the engine is running, the carb sucks crankcase fumes out of the drop gear housing breather and the timing cover breather. This in turn draws fresh air into the valve cover and down into the crankcase. This fresh air must first come from a hose at the bottom of the charcoal canister, flows over the charcoal granules to remove their stored fumes, then enters the valve cover.

The America, also shares the same bumper set up as the 1300 GT, with two number-plate lamps and a built in reversing light. The chrome strips are through to the end of the car, along with the rain channel chrome strip. Both features break the amount of paintwork up that is seen.

Austin America's built between 1968-70 were fitted with a chrome finishing ring around each wheel. This appears to dress up the wheel and make it more pleasing on the eye. However the familiar "A" that appeared on UK cars is not found on the Hubcaps at all.

Austin America's built in 1971 had lost the ring, and retained the plain hubcap. Vehicles sold in the UK around this time lost their lettering and were replaced with straight plain hubcaps.

The Black crackle finish dash is usually associated with the Morris 1100/1300 Mk2, however it was also fitted to the Austin America. Perhaps it would sell better than the silver dash?

The America was fitted with headrests on the seats, and a middle arm rest. We see the alloy 3 spoke steering wheel also making an appearance in the America, again taken from the GT.

The boot, is fairly standard throughout the range. A false boot floor covers the spare wheel, and a fuel filler pipe can be seen running through the boot.
