  • Wessex Ways’ February 2020
    WESSEX VEHICLE PRESERVATION CLUB FOUNDED 1971 www.wvpc.org.uk ‘WESSEX WAYS’ FEBRUARY 2020 VEHICLE OF THE MONTH The Austin Cambridge (sold as A40, A50, A55, and A60) is a motor car range produced by the Austin Motor Company, in several generations, from September 1954 through to 1971 as cars and to 1973 as light commercials. It replaced the A40 Somerset and was entirely new, with modern unibody construction. The range had two basic body styles with the A40, A50, and early A55 using a traditional rounded shape and later A55 Mark IIs and A60s using Pininfarina styling. The A40 number was re-used on a smaller car (the Austin A40 Farina) from 1958 to 1968, and the Cambridge name had previously been used to designate one of the available body styles on the pre-war 10 hp range. The Austin Cambridge was initially offered only with a four-passenger, four-door saloon body, although a few pre-production two-door models were also made. It had a modern body design with integrated wings and a full-width grille. Independent suspension was provided at the front by coil springs and wishbones while a live axle with anti-roll bar was retained at the rear. A van derivative introduced in November 1956 and a coupé utility (pick up) introduced in May 1957 and remained available until 1974, some three years after the demise of the cars on which they had been based. A40 CAMBRIDGE A 1.2-litre straight-four pushrod engine B-Series engine based on the one used in the previous Austin Somerset (although sharing no parts) powered the new Austin Cambridge.

  • 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.

Trim became steadily more luxurious over the years — and less durable. Even this early 90 will cruise at 70mph and, though heavy and unaerodynamic, they became ever more refined and capable over the decades. With the Defender weighing up to 2 tonnes or more, performance is purposeful rather than effortless even with the V8 — but all have tremendous pulling power. The original Land Rover 2. Lack of maintenance shortens life expectancy hugely, especially in Diesel Turbo or Tdi form, so look for evidence of regular care and be wary of excessively smoky engines, especially if accompanied by rattles and leaks. Watch for water pump and radiator leaks, too. Use a good-quality diagnostics reader to check historic fault codes. Off-road fans should regularly change the transmission and axle oils to avoid water contamination. The same applies to the suspension: military users have reported increasing issues with parts quality, including swivel housings snapping off. Use genuine parts where possible, though even these are dropping in quality as OE manufacture ends and aftermarket parts appear in branded packaging. Built by Steyr-Puch, with a separate chassis, petrol or diesel power, three locking diffs at first then permanent 4WD. Beware early rust and later complexity. Rugged and basic with four- and six-cylinder engines, the Jeep is often seen as a topless fun car, but was a hardtop, too.
