AUSTIN APACHE TC

Introduced in 1973, it was the sporting Apache on a par with the 1300GT, and in many respects, the same features.

It sported typical 70s go-faster hardware such as TC badges, RO-style rims (made in SA), vinyl roof, brushed nylon seat facings, sports steering wheel, additional stainless steel side beading, and the all important rev-counter!  Making all of this worthy of the TC name was the addition of the twin SU 1.25" carburettors.  The image below is from the Autodata Digest.
