Today, in celebration of World Marbles Day (thanks for the reminder @MarSolRivas) we are featuring the Austin Maxi, snapped here at Techno Classica Essen in 2014.The Maxi was brilliant in concept but let down by patchy execution. One reviewer famously compared the action of early cars’ cable operated gear shift to stirring a bag of marbles with a knitting needle. The Maxi deserved better and I shall return to this story of what might have been soon.
