My father had an Austin 1300. Initially things were well, but then 
Austin abandoned Spain, I don't know why. This would be in the late 
70's. Spares became difficult or impossible to find, and we are talking 
about UK and Spain, not Japan. Not that far away. We used parts from 
other brands, but better from junk yards.

The motor broke one teeth of the inertia wheel, that has teeth for the 
starter motor. One broke, so sometimes the starter would spin "empty". 
We had to push the car with gear engaged for just a bit, then try the 
starter again.

I think the garage replaced the thing with a part from a Fiat. The 
problem then became that the motor would get stuck. Different shape of 
teeth. Finally the garage man found a wheel at a junk yard. That worked 
fine.
