| Now Australia's outstanding 6 cylinder car is even more so |
| Austin X6 Kimberley
and Tasman have already proved themselves as outstanding road cars. They
offered advanced engineering, comfort and safety features unsurpassed by
any other six cylinder car in Australia. And now, we present to you the
Austin X6 MKI I Kimberley, and the Austin X6 MKII Tasman. Two new models
very much like their predecessors. But even more refined. Even more
outstanding.
Styling MK II |
![]() |
|
The Austin X6 MKII isn't a completely re-styled car. But it gives you that impression. It's cleaner. Fresher. It's got that look that'll look good for years and years to come. Apart from the MKI I badges, you can tell the MKII Kimberley and Tasman by their twin rear bumpers,
|
separated by a thick rubber strip.
The rubber strip isn't just for show. It means you can get a bump in the rear, without getting a permanent dent in the rear.
And you can tell the MKII Tasman and Kimberley apart because the latter has a striking black painted rear deck.
Comfort MK II |

Inside both cars, the MKII differences are even
more apparent. |
More comfortable front
and rear seats. The front bench seat also featuring built-in head restraints.

| The MKII comfort story wouldn't be complete without informing you that both cars, Kimberley and Tasman, have more leg room than most other family cars available.
In fact, 80% of the car's space is for the passengers and luggage.
But that's another story.
Performance MK II The MKI I Kimberley andtasman, like their predecessors, feature Leyland's space saving east-west engine arrangement. |
Safety MK II The MKII Kimberley and Tasman, like their earlier counterparts, have a comprehensive list of safety features. Apart from excellent roadholding,braking and acceleration, these cars feature rack and pinion steering. Excellent all round vision. Child proof door locks. Steering column lock. Front and rear seat belts. Recessed door handles. Burstproof door locks. The cabin structure of the Austin X6 MKII is exceptionally strong and the engine, because it is mounted across the car, acts as a super-strong buffer. |

To protect your Austin X6 MKII
against rust we put it through an exclusive 7 stage rustproofing
process we call Roto-dip. We hope you'll never need any of these safety
features, but isn't it nice to know they are there?
