  • 1992 Daimler DS420 Limousine the Last DS420 and the Last Car with an XK Engine
    1992 Daimler DS420 Limousine The last DS420 and the last car with an XK engine The long line of Daimler limousines finally came to an end in 1992 with this car, the last example of the DS420 range. It was also the last car to use the 44-year old Jaguar XK engine design When Jaguar merged with the British Motor Corporation in 1966, both companies manufactured limousine models, the ageing Daimler Majestic Major and Vanden Plas Princess 4 litre. It was decided to replace both of these older models with a single new limousine, which would bear the Daimler name and would be based on Jaguar components, but which would be assembled in the Vanden Plas factory at Kingsbury in London. The result was the DS420 which was launched in 1968 and co-incidentally became the first new model of the newly-merged British Leyland company. It was based on an extended floorpan from the Jaguar 420G, which made the DS420 the biggest ever British car with unitary body construction. The engine was the well-known Jaguar XK in 4.2 litre form, with an automatic gearbox as standard. The semi- razor edge style of the body was probably inspired by some of the classic Hooper bodies on Daimler chassis The basic bodyshell was supplied by Motor Panels in Coventry and mechanical components were fitted by Jaguar at Browns Lane, before the limousines were sent to Vanden Plas for final assembly and trim. When the Vanden Plas factory closed in 1979, final assembly and trim moved back to a special Limousine Shop in the Jaguar factory at Browns Lane The DS420 enjoyed a near monopoly of its market, and many were also supplied in chassis form for hearse bodywork.

    MINI United Kingdom Corporate Communications Media Information 28 March 2013 STRICT EMBARGO 28.03.2013 00:01 GMT MINI PLANT LEADS CELEBRATION OF 100 YEARS OF CAR- MAKING IN OXFORD Transport Secretary opens centenary exhibition in new Visitor Centre and views multi-million pound investment for next generation MINI Today a centenary exhibition was opened in the new Visitor Centre at MINI Plant Oxford by Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin and Harald Krueger, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, to mark this major industrial milestone. One hundred years ago to the day, the first ‘Bullnose’ Morris Oxford was built by William Morris just a few hundred metres from where the modern MINI plant stands. With a weekly production of just 20 vehicles in 1913, the business grew rapidly and over the century 11.65 million cars were produced, bearing 13 different British brands and one Japanese. Almost 500, 000 people have worked at the plant in the past 100 years and in the early 1960s numbers peaked at 28,000. Today, Plant Oxford employs 3,700 associates who manufacture up to 900 MINIs every day. Congratulating the plant on its historic milestone, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Government is working closely with the automotive industry so that it continues to compete and thrive in the global race and the success of MINI around the world stands as a fine example of British BMW Group Company Postal Address manufacturing at its best.

  • How Many Valves Per Cylinder (Revised) – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Or 8? with Illustrations and a P.S
    DST 20 February 2015. P.1 of 13 How many valves per cylinder (revised) – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 8? With illustrations and a P.S. on 6 Since 1993 all Formula 1 engine designers have chosen 4 poppet valves per cylinder (2 inlet, 2 exhaust). In 2006 this layout was actually specified in the FIA regulations and the new 2014 rules continue it. Keith Duckworth, who created in 1966 a cylinder head having 4 valves per cylinder (4 v/c) opposed at a relatively narrow angle and combined them with port geometry and increased valve Lift/Diameter ratio to create in-cylinder “Barrel Turbulence” (aka “Tumble Swirl”) to raise combustion efficiency, set a benchmark to which, in time, all competitors conformed and which spread far outside the racing arena. In most of the past century this unanimity on 4 v/c did not exist. Racing 4-stroke piston engines were built with 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 poppet valves per cylinder. This article follows the title subject generally from the series of 85 “Grand Prix Cars-of-the-Year”, 1906 – 2000, listed in this web site . Specifically this admits only 2, 3, and 4 valves per cylinder so, for general interest, substantial diversions have been included to other racing engines with a wider variety of arrangements In future references to “valve gear” it is to be understood that it refers to poppet valves opened by cams, directly or indirectly, and closed by steel springs forcing them to ride on the cam, unless otherwise mentioned (Desmodromic gear in Mercedes 1954-1955 (DVRS) and Pneumatic Valve Return Systems (PVRS) post-1990).
