Sure,  I used to own a couple of them.  What do you need to know??

1098cc 3 main engine. _Not_ the hot mini engine but a long stroke
with a tendency to break pistons if reved too tight.
twin SUs on the MG, single SU on the Austin, Morris and Wolsley badged
cars.
same 4 speed that was used in the mini with a different shifter 
extension.
hydrolastic suspension
12" wheels

Oh yeah, they _were_ imported.  Later they got a 1300cc engine,
and an optional automatic trans and were called Austin Americas.
