Høsten er nå i havn og nå begynner vinteren og så er det snart jul. Tiden går så altfor fort. Jeg vil takke dere hver og en for hyggelig kontakt pr telefon og besøk hjemme hos oss. Det gleder meg at det er både nye og ”gamle” medlemmer som tar kontakt. Jeg håper virkelig at dere får den hjelpen som ønskes både når det gjelder forsikring, kjøp av deler, kjøp og salg av bil og hva ellers som er på tapetet. Vinterlagring: Husk strømbryter (AV) og koble gjerne fra batteriet. Og det kan bli kaldt – frostvæske er lurt. I tillegg var det mange (i alle fall de som bor sør i landet) som fikk seg en liten (kanskje stor) overraskelse i vinter som var: Noen ”skjønne små” mus hadde tatt bolig i bilen og ikke bare beboet den, men også spist og forsynt seg av seter, ledninger puter mv. Det kan lønne seg å ta en sjekk ut over vinteren slik at overraskelsen ikke blir altfor stor til våren. LMK-forsikring: Har du endret LMK-forsikringen til Tennant eller har du forsikring frem- deles i If ?. Se eget skriv i bladet. LMK-forsikring får du nå kun gjennom Tennant. Husk å betale medlemskontingenten – konto nr 0530 25 77872 Merkeoppmenn: Bruk merkeoppmennene aktivt. Ikke vær redd for å ta kontakt – jeg vet at de hjelper deg og du får noen nye tips om ting og tang. I neste nummer – 1/2007 vil vi presentere nye medlemmer - vennligst send nødvendig informasjon/biler mv. i god tid. Bruk også nettet. Det er 3 kanskje enklest å gå inn slik: LMK – medlemsklubber – Albion. Jeg synes også at det er godt å kunne takke Redaktør Roar og Web- ansvarlig Dag for en meget god jobb. De er begge to de som ”fronter” Albion utad på en glimrende måte. Så vil jeg ønske dere alle en riktig god jul og et godt nytt år med engelsk/norsk hilsen: Merry Albion-hjul and a Happy GoodYear ! Hilsen Lise 4 4 Redaktøren har ordet Dette har vært et nytt spennende Albion-år. På Høvikodden kom den ene flotte bilen etter den andre på de siste onsdagstreffene i høst. Vi hadde også en flott stand på Ekeberg-markedet. Ikke minst, praten gikk om løst og fast. Det var kaffe og småkaker. Slik skal det være, en litt uhøytidlig samtale om et felles tema – engelske biler. I engelsk bilproduksjon er det mange sammenhenger. I dette nummer har jeg sett litt nærmere på aktivitetene til brødrene Jensen. Spesielt samar- beidet mellom Jensen og Leonard Lord (Austin), men også over til USA og Ferguson (firehjulsdrevne system i en produksjonsbil). Det er så hyggelig med leserbrev. I dette nummer forteller Odd-Østen Hurlen om hvordan han ble eier av en Austin Cambridge og Kjell Kr. Ukkelberg har vært på Beaulieu. Til slutt må nevnes Erik B. Winter. Jeg har ikke funnet mye om han. Takket være litt iherdig leting på nett (da kom førstesiden av seg selv) og et godt samarbeid med Anders de Lange (se www.bilhistorie.no) har jeg klart å få presentert denne mannen på en skapelig måte. Winter var en pioner i bilbransjen. Redaktøren 5 Beaulieu et mekka for de anglofile av Kjell Kr. Ukkelberg ”Beaulieu International Autojumble” i England har gjennom mange år vært regnet som Europas største marked for klassiske kjøretøyer. 9. – 10. september ble markedet arrangert for 40 gang. Starten var i 1967 med 75 stand. Markedet blir arrangert på eiendommen til lord Montagu of Beaulieu hvor også the National Motor Museum befinner seg sammen med lordens slott, abby, Beaulieu landsby og mye annet for hele familien. Som om dette ikke er nok er det også en egen utstilling av en rekke av kjøretøyene fra James Bond filmer. For å komme seg lett frem går det en liten jernbane inne på eiendommen som er en sak for seg selv da den ikke går på bakken, men over bakken! Beaulieu ligger inne i nasjonalparken New Forest og ca 15 min kjørtur fra Southampton. Den enkleste måten å komme dit på er ved hjelp av fly fra Oslo til en av hovedflyplassene rundt London og deretter leiebil eller tog. Avstanden til Heathrow med bil er knapt 1 time og 30 min. Dersom en er tidlig ute med å bestille flybilletter er det fult mulig å komme dit under en tusenlapp. Det er også mange andre måter å komme seg til Beaulieu på. I mange år har vårt styremedlem Martin Fella arrangert busstur med innlagte besøk både her og der inklu- sive Aidensfield (Goathland i virkelig- heten) og andre for oss anglofile kjente plasser. 6 Årets marked inneholdt mer enn 2000 stand som solgte deler, litteratur og det meste som ellers kunne knyttes til klassiske kjøretøyer. Det er vel i denne sammenheng lov å meddele at de fleste stand på en eller annen måte hadde tilknytning til britiske kjøretøyer. Derfor et mekka for oss anglofile. Alt utenom som antikke gjenstander, glass, utgåtte ski og sågar toalettskåler jf norske markeder er forbudt. Alt som tilbys skal på en eller annen måte ha tilknytning til klassiske kjøretøyer og hobbyen. I tillegg til salgsstand er det et stort antall kjøretøyer til salgs i alle prisklasser, for- skjellige tilstander og merker. Her er det å bemerke at det ikke er rent få kjøretøyer som etter en tur til Beaulieu har tatt vegen til Norge på en eller annen måte. For egen del endte en i utgangspunktet uskyldig tur for noen år tilbake sammen med frue og gode venner med en Rover P5B Coupé. En flott bil med stort skyvetak og det hele. Bilen havnet etter noen år på Voss hvor jeg regner med at den fortsatt befinner seg i beste velgående. I tilknytning til markedet arrangeres det også en stor auksjon hvor det er mulig å handle kjøretøyer i alle prisklasser. I år la vi merke til at en norsk Rolls Royce skulle under hammeren. Hvordan det gikk, har jeg ikke kunnskap om, men bilen var flott den. Vi må vel bare finne oss i at også noen kjøretøyer kan havne tilbake igjen i sitt kjære fødeland med mindre det ble kjøpt av en franskmann, italiener eller for den del av en svenske uten at en av den grunn blir misunnelig. Eller kanskje bare litt! For egen del startet historien om Beaulieu i 1984. Lise og jeg reiste sammen med flere andre fra Hedemarken. Den gang med ferge og bil. Siden har det etter hvert blitt mange turer sammen med gode venner hvor ikke bare markedet har stått i fokus, men også det å kunne reise sammen med venner og å ha en sosial happening. Det siste har etter hvert som årene og markedene har gått blitt like viktig som selve markedet. Det å kunne bo i en flott liten landsby som for vår del heter Lyndhurst, gammelt hotell med et hyggelig vertskap og ikke minst en rekke engelske puber like rundt svingen må bare oppleves. De siste årene har vi vært i snitt vært 10 – 15 venner som har reist sammen, bodd på det samme hotell og ellers opplevd et flott fellesskap. Flere av dem er ”Albionister”. 7 Skal jeg konkludere etter årets tur som startet med at jeg sammen med Jaguar eier Morten Dagestad fra Brumunddal reiste en dag før de andre slik at vi rakk en flott tur med dampdamp tog fra New Alresford til Alton, overnatting på Swan hotell fra 1876 og mye mer kan vel det sies på en enkel måte! Det må bare oppleves! · Engelskmennene kaller Beaulieu ”the friendliest car show anywhere”. ENDELIG, ENDELIG, ENDELIG ER BILEN MIN! (Historien om en Austin Cambridge) Odd-Østen Hurlen Det var høsten 2000 jeg ble kontaktet av en mann i bilbransjen, han visste at jeg hadde noen gamle biler, spurte meg: Kjenner du noen som er interessert i en Austin Cambridge???? Ja, sa jeg, jeg er interes- sert. Han formidlet kontakten til bileieren, og bileieren var for så vidt interessert i å selge, men som han sa; tiden er ikke inne enda. Jeg maste på vedkommende hver gang jeg traff han, men han dro stadig på det, tiden er ikke inne, men når tiden er der, skal du få be- skjed. Jeg fikk anledning å beskue bilen et par ganger, og fant ut den var meget pen, kjørt ca. 68000 km, og det fantes ikke rust på den. 8 Årene gikk, og tilslutt orket jeg ikke å mase lenger, for jeg visste svaret. Men bilen sto i meget tørr og fin garasje, og jeg tenkte som så, enten får jeg tak i den ellers så får jeg ikke tak i den.

  • The Jensen Interceptor: Chrysler-Powered British Luxury
    The Jensen Interceptor: Chrysler- Powered British Luxury Allan and Richard Jensen's auto business was started before World War II, which interrupted production until 1950, when their first Interceptor was made. At the time, they made Austin bodies under contract, and the first Interceptor resembled an Austin A40 (the Jensens built bodies for a string of cars that included the Volvo P1800, Sunbeam Tiger, and Austin-Healey.) The first Interceptor used a 4 liter Austin in-line six, and was produced in small numbers for over a decade. Jensen also used Nash Twin-Ignition Eight engines for a time, and the 1962 C-V8 used a Chrysler 361 B-block engine. A number of these early Jensens made their way to the US before and after World War II. The next version kept the basic C-V8 chassis, but changed styling. Initially, an in-house convertible design was planned, but chief engineer Kevin Beattie argued for an Italian flavor. Proposals were taken from different design houses, with Carozzeria Touring winning out with a fastback coupe incorporating a rounded tail, but that house was unable to finalize the design. Vignale, instead, provided prototype and initial production bodies, rendered in steel, on CV-8 chassis sent to them by Jensen. Turnaround was quick - about four months - so the new Interceptors could be shown in London in October 1966. Jensen later used the jigs and tools, which were sent by Vignale to the West Bromwich factory. The body had two doors, a low beltline, and fishbowl rear glass in a handsome 2+2 design.

  • Kjell Qvale Dies at 94; Married U.S. to Sports Cars - the New York Times
    9/21/2020 Kjell Qvale Dies at 94; Married U.S. to Sports Cars - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/183z3Rp Kjell Qvale Dies at 94; Married U.S. to Sports Cars By Douglas Martin Nov. 12, 2013 Kjell Qvale, who fell in love with a forest-green, wire-wheel MG sports car in the 1940s and went on to become one of the earliest American importers of European cars, ultimately selling a million automobiles as a distributor and dealer, died on Nov. 1 in San Francisco. He was 94. His family announced the death. As a recently discharged Navy veteran, the Norwegian-born Kjell Qvale (pronounced shell KAH-vah-leh) entered the car business in 1946, using $8,500 in savings to invest in a Jeep dealership in Alameda, Calif. He had no particular passion for cars at the time; to him, this was strictly a business proposition. It was also strictly business when he made a trip to New Orleans to meet with an importer to discuss expanding his line by adding James motorcycles, a not-terribly-fast British make known for its Jeep-like practicality. There, Mr. Qvale found himself standing on a street corner when “this goofy-looking car pulls up to the curb in front of me,” he said in an interview in 2008. He asked the driver where it was made. “England,” the driver said. The car was the MG, and the driver turned out to be the importer of motorcycles he had come to see. He gave Mr. Qvale a ride. It also turned out that the importer was looking for someone to market MGs in Northern California.

  • The Detomaso Mangusta an Italian Exotic That Happened by Accident
    The DeTomaso Mangusta An Italian exotic that happened by accident.. By Rick Feibusch In the good old days, years before the implementation of emissions and safety laws, exotic high-performance automakers woul d just build a car, display it at a few key international auto shows and start taking orders. There wasn't even a legal requirement that the manufacturer road test a prototype before the first production models were delivered to the public! Italian automakers were particularly prone to using the public to test their cars - after delivery. The DeTomaso Mangusta was a particularly interesting example. The Mangusta was born out of the ambition of Argentinian race driver Alejandro De Tomaso who, like many othe r racers, yearned to build his own cars. DeTomaso was born to a wealthy family in a small town near Buenos Aires. He left Argentina in 1955, just one step ahead of Juan Peron's goon squads, having offended the great dictator with political writings publi shed in a local newspaper. Peron, like his idol Adolph Hitler, loved sports cars and heavily supported successful drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio because he believed that if drivers from his country won races, it showed a national superiority. Since DeTomaso wouldn't play ball, he was excluded from the gravy train. DeTomaso left for Italy, the land of his grandparents with only $126 in his racing jumpsuit He met Isabelle Haskell, a rich American woman who owned and raced a Siata and a Maserati. In those d ays, women racers were a rare and unproven commodity, and Ms.

  • Alan and Richard Jensen Produced Their First Car in 1928 When They
    Alan and Richard Jensen produced their first car in 1928 when they converted a five year old Austin 7 Chummy Saloon into a very stylish two seater with cycle guards, louvred bonnet and boat-tail. This was soon sold and replaced with another Austin 7. Then came a car produced on a Standard chassis followed by a series of specials based on the Wolseley Hornet, a popular sporting small car of the time. The early 1930s saw the brothers becoming joint managing directors of commercial coachbuilders W J Smith & Sons and within three years the name of the company was changed to Jensen Motors Limited. Soon bodywork conversions followed on readily available chassis from Morris, Singer, Standard and Wolseley. Jensen’s work did not go unnoticed as they received a commission from actor Clark Gable to produced a car on a US Ford V8 chassis. This stylish car led to an arrangement with Edsel Ford for the production of a range of sports cars using a Jensen designed chassis and powered by Ford V8 engines equipped with three speed Ford transmissions. Next came a series of sporting cars powered by the twin-ignition straight eight Nash engine or the Lincoln V12 unit. On the commercial side of the business Jensen’s were the leaders in the field of the design and construction of high-strength light alloys in commercial vehicles and produced a range of alloy bodied trucks and busses powered by either four-cylinder Ford engines, Ford V8s, or Perkins diesels. World War Two saw sports car production put aside and attentions were turned to more appropriate activities such as producing revolving tank gun turrets, explosives and converting the Sherman Tank for amphibious use in the D-Day invasion of Europe.

Rolls und Royce, Mercedes und Benz sind gängige Beispiele dafür. Weniger bekannt ist das Produkt des Zusammenschlusses von Jensen und Healey. Das blaue Blut des Britischen Sportwagens gesellte sich zum damals neusten Stan- dard automobiler Ingenieurskunst.

Qvale sah seine Chance: Warum nicht selbst bauen, selbst ver- markten und die Fahrzeuge selbst verkaufen? 7 Sunday Gazette 101/2012 In Deutschland ist der zweisitzige Sportwagen mit seinem einfa- chen Stoffverdeck und der reduzierten Innenausstattung eine Seltenheit.
