The Austin Victoria was a small family car which was produced by the Authi subsidiary of the British Leyland Motor Corporation, at its Pamplona plant, between 1972 and 1975. It was also built and sold in South Africa as the Austin Apache.

The car was styled by Michelotti, and based on the chassis and various other components of the Austin/Morris 1100. While the car's centre structure was that of the Austin/Morris 1100, its front and rear styling was all-new, styled (particularly at the rear, where the boot was notchback) to resemble a scaled down Triumph 2000.

P.S. That red color on that car looks hideous.
