I don’t know about 20 or 30 years ago – by all out. Things came to a head, from at least three different accounts, NZ was the last developed country to move into quarters, on the first weekend in May - it was almost like the late 20th Century – but it’s now a thoroughly modern being a tax accountant on April 30th!

The copyright watermark on the individual images will disappear once downloaded. Born from an idea spawned by a 32-year-old Austin Maestro, and after four years in the making, the UK’s newest visitor attraction Great British Car Journey has opened its doors. Making the once ordinary extraordinary, the Great British Car Journey is packed with British marques and models that dominated the roads for nearly a century. Motors fixed in our memories, like the Morris Minor, Ford Capri, and everything before, after and in between, are cars that are now so rare that you’re more likely to see a £150,000 supercar on today’s roads. More than 130 vehicles now fill a former wire works factory on the banks of the River Derwent in Ambergate, Derbyshire. Richard Usher, CEO of Great British Car Journey explained: “Four years ago, when I owned and managed Blyton Circuit, a gentleman approached me asking if I’d like to buy his 1989 Austin Maestro in mint condition with just 10,000 miles on the clock. My first thought was ‘no’, but it then got me thinking about when I last saw an Austin Allegro, Metro, original Mini, or even a Ford Cortina on the road. These were cars that were once on virtually every street in Britain and sold in their millions.” The seed was planted and Richard, together with four private investors, set about amassing one of the largest privately owned collections of British designed and manufactured cars in the country.

  • A Series Engine
    The Fifty Years of the A Series Engine To all you Mini fans, October the 4th 2000, will be remembered as the day the last Mini was made, but to me it is the day that the last car fitted with an “A” series engine rolled off a production line. The “A” series predates the Mini by eight years. The origins of the engine that was known as the BMC A series engine as installed in cars produced under the names of Austin, Morris, Austin Healey, MG, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden-Plas and finally Mini, began sometime in the middle of the nineteen forties. The Austin Motor Company, or as they chose to call them selves at that time, Austin of England, needed new up to date models for the post war era. The resulting two designs were a mixture of old and new. Both of conventional layout for the time with the engine located at the front of the independently sprung channel section chassis and rear wheel drive by live axle. One had a 1200cc version of an all new four cylinder, water-cooled, overhead valve engine and the other a 1000cc version of the same engine in a narrower version of the same chassis. The 1000cc model was dropped and 1200cc version went in production in 1947 as the Austin A40, named Devon with a four door body and Dorset with two doors. At the beginning of the nineteen fifties and for a few years, The A40 Sports, a two seat aluminium bodied tourer, with a mildly tuned version of 1200cc engine was produced for Austin by Jenson.

  • Find the Static Timing Point
    Mounting instructions for the '123ignition' type : 123\MINI-R-V & 123\MINI-R-V-A+ for : all 6 & 12 Volt cars, negative earth only ! IMPORTANT Please read the entire instructions before you begin installation. If after reading you are unsure of the procedure to be followed, please ask someone who knows or visit www.TDCperformance.ca for additional information. Remember to work safely. STEP 1: Find the static timing point On the old distributor, note the position of the ignition wire to the number one cylinder. Number one is beside the radiator and the firing order is 1-3-4-2. Remove the distributor cap and turn the engine in its normal direction so that the rotor almost points to the number one cylinder position, ie the 2 o’clock position. Now carefully turn the engine further until the Top Dead Center ( TDC ) is indicated on the timing mark on the flywheel. The engine is now at the static timing point, at the end of the compression stroke for the number one cylinder.
