More on that some other time but for now I'll just leave it at that the 250 is off the road. Patrick's Stag is running but not without some drama. We had to change the head gasket. After changing the head gasket the car would not start. Hmm, Dude, are you sure you tightened everything up? Check the timing, valve adjustment, timing again, fuel delivery, all are checking out OK. Go back to basics and find the manifold is loose. I won't say who tightened that. Tighten up the manifold bolts and it runs like a charm, or at least pretty close to a charm. Patrick purchased new Kumho tires from Tire Rack and had them mounted locally. About 40-50 miles later, the tube in the RR tire let go. Maybe it is time to offer the wire wheels up on eBay after all.

  • How British Leyland Grew Itself to Death by Geoff Wheatley British Car Network
    How British Leyland Grew Itself To Death By Geoff Wheatley British Car Network I have always wondered how a British motor company that made trucks and other commercial vehicles, ever got its hands on Jaguar, Triumph, and of course MG. Furthermore, how this successful commercial company managed to lose the goodwill and loyal customers of these popular vehicles. The story starts some fifteen years before British Leyland became part of the domestic vehicle market in the UK, and of course overseas, especially for Jaguar, a top international brand name in the post war years. In the early 1950s the idea of Group Industries was the flavor of the month. Any company worth its salt was ready to join forces with a willing competitor, or several competitors to form a “Commercial Group”. In consequence we had the Textile Groups, International Banking Groups, The British Nylon Group, Shell and BP Group etc. The theory was simple, by forming production groups producing similar products and exchanging both marketing and production techniques, costs would be reduced and sales would increase. The British Government, who had an investment in the British Motor Industry to help the growth of exports to earn needed US Dollars, was very much in favor of the Group Policy being applied to the major production companies in the UK including the Nuffield Organization and Austin Corporation. Smaller companies like Jaguar who were also successful exporters were encouraged to take the same view on production and sales, however they did not jump on the “Group” bandwagon and remained independent for a few more years.

Newsletter of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster February/March 2019 1 Editorial The clocks go back the weekend I am writing this, the sun has put in an appearance or two already and we have started the season with a breakfast meeting at Ashworth Barracks with a good turnout. Club nights have been very enjoyable all winter with a good num- ber coming along to enjoy each other’s company, some to stay on for the quiz but lighter evenings are on their way and the number of classics in the car park are increasing nicely already. Rodger Tre- hearn has again provided a list of events further on, he has entry forms at all club nights and the information is also on the club web- site, see Chair’s chat for more on that. Planning for the show at the College for the Deaf is well under way and we have fliers for you to give out to get another brilliant attendance. This raises a lot of money for charity and also helps our club fi- nances but, primarily, it is a great day out and is where we do the main club trophy judging. For those who won trophies last year, could you get them back to the club by the end of May please for engraving and getting ready for the show. If anyone needs them collecting, please let me know and I can organise that. We have another club event at Cusworth Hall on 12th May with a car limit of 40 and you must be there by 12 noon and not leave before 4pm to ensure public safety.

  • The Family Man's Sports Car, the Light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback
    The Family Man’s Sports Car, The light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback. Part One 1920 to 1980 Alvis 12/75 sports saloon The hot hatch back has been with us since the mid seventies, sporting version’s of the small family hatch back saloons that had come to replace in much of the world the smaller booted/trunk saloon car. Of late many of the hot hatch models of this century have been fitted with ever increasingly larger engines in the relentless quest for even more speed, but there are still some models in production with modest sized engines in the spirit of the original hot hatches and the light sports saloons that came before them, with capacities up to 1600cc’s. What do I mean by light sports saloon, I am referring to the kind of light car, that is one with a moderate size engine, that was purchased not just for transport but one that will provide an increased degree of performance that will enhance the pleasure of motoring and that in some cases could take part in motorsport of one form or another. The sports saloon was a very British thing in the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties, with quite a few models on offer with that description, but for many of them it was unwarranted and I have only mentioned those with a sporting connection here. In most of the world in that period light cars were usually just for transport and if a sporting car was required it had a larger engine ,some times very large.

  • September 2020
    Vol 38 No 9 September 2020 It’s been a very humid and wet month, not conducive for driv- Prez Sez ing the LBC’s with the top down. I did take advantage of a short somewhat cool morning and rolled the Mercedes on the By Dave Rosato rotisserie out of the garage and gave the entire car a coating of sandable primer. I’m at the finish stages of the body work. About a month ago I got a call from Patrick Lane. He took the Spitfire out for a drive and when he got home the engine started acting up. After shutting it off, it wouldn’t start again. He sug- gested a blown head gasket. So I suggested he trailer it over and we’d take a look at it. He bought a gasket set for the engine. When he brought it over, I thought I’d check the compression before pulling the head, just to confirm. I pulled all the plugs and put the gauge in number 4. Patrick cranked the engine. I immediately got showered with an oil/water mix coming out from the open spark plug holes. That confirmed a blown head gasket. We removed the carb and exhaust then the head bolts. We lifted the head and sure enough, #4 cylinder was full of water. It was interest- ing in that the top of the #4 piston was clean as new from being washed with hot water. We cleaned up the head and top of the block then put the engine back together with the new head gasket.
