The Australian Austin Kimberley, Austin Tasman, and Morris Tasman (the last offered in New Zealand) X6 models of 1970 were based on the Austin 1800 platform and retained the same doors, albeit with some changes. These cars had a 2.2 L straight-six engine, which eventually made it into the British ADO17s in 1972. The localized Kimberley/Tasman was replaced by the Australia/New Zealand-only Leyland P76 in 1973.
