Ralph’s first time on the road “modified Healey” Bottom: Harrisbrug, North Jersey, Long Island What’s In The Flash EDITor’s by Steve Jekogian NOTE ow I believe you can not believe what you read or see in the press. Last month we published in “This month in Healey History” the story and photo of DMH receiving a big trophy at the Miami World Fair NAuto Show. Kind of a nice trophy don’t you think. But our intrepid reported (Baird Foster) flew “over the pond” to do a “follow up” interview and a new set of in- formation was uncovered, which casts new light on the subject. Check this out. From Baird Foster, regarding the Photo on page 16 of the May Flash. (Note from editor it was the Healey 100 with the big trophy) We attended the Healey Drivers Club event and I latched onto a ride with Roy Jackson-Moore. Roy told me that the huge trophy in Miami was “borrowed” from Packard, which had won another award and can be seen in the background of the photo of the Healey, and the pictures with the trophy and DAM were sent on to BMC in New York for publicity for the new Healey 100. Roy and DAM were keen on selling these cars and went to any length to do so including a borrowed trophy. I always thought I bought the Healey because I like the looks, but I now believe there was some “Madison Av- enue advertising” magic (or the street the ad agencies in London are) going on in my head. Now I am wondering, did the Healey 100 actually go 100 Shop Online ... www.VictoriaBritish.com MPH at the speed runs on the Jabbered Highway, in Bel- or Request Your FREE Catalog Today! gium.

Fast, Simple & Safe PO Box 14991, Lenexa, KS 66285-4991 3 RPM PRESIDENT by Ray Donovan I miss one month, when I have little or nothing to say; and now I have too much? Well, I will do my best to be succinct. Did everyone sign up for Encounter? The registration fee will be increasing within a week; procrastinators awaken! Every time I attend an Encounter planning meeting, Leo, Trish and the committee are adding more activities! A cooking ‘tech-session’, guest speaker (Gordon Whitby) speaking-not once but twice, a charity auction to benefit The Make-A-Wish Foundation, a bus tour from the hotel down to a world famous museum on Wednesday night (including dinner), self-guided driving tours includ- ing side bars about local history? Did I include enough in my run-on sentence? How about staying at a highly rated hotel and conference center with a famous restaurant whose room rates include hot breakfast on Thursday, Friday and continental breakfast on Saturday? Let’s not forget: road rally, funkhanna, gymkhanna, valve cover race, popular Car Show. Have a valid driver’s license? How about learning to drive a stick shift? You can read more detailed articles in this month’s Flash. Please register today and join us in Blue Bell, did I mention first round is on John Heffron (Just trying to gauge how many are reading my article—you John--)? I came across the moniker, ‘silver-surfers’ recently and it registered with me immediately. Yes, I guess I am a ‘silver-surfer’; self-taught computer user and knowing just enough to get myself through the day. Did you know that the Club has a Facebook page? I realize many believe it’s a waste of time, see Betty White hosting SNL ‘On-Demand’ or on YouTube (if you dare). While one hundred and seven are presently participating, most are not members of the Club, many are from other countries! Exposure for our Club, its activities and members now reach around the world. I am hoping it will introduce our cars and club to a younger generation. I really hope it will provide us an additional method of communicating. I realize Facebook has made recent headlines about its security settings but it only displays the information you give it. We’ve posted some videos from previous Encounters, including the valve cover race from 2005, join today, take a tour and join our AHSTC group page. I visited Carlisle Kit Nationals for the very first time! People have always told me that it has lost something since vendors started selling parts on the internet but I still enjoyed it very much. Despite other misgivings I was (pleasantly) surprised to find many parts for our British Cars. The Harrisburg Region has procured a tent from the organizers for many years which provides a very nice (and friendly) ‘home base’ for our members. Friday’s weather was great, what was everyone talking about rain at Carlisle? After roaming the parts vendors, visiting the kit cars and car corral and yes, purchasing a hood for our ’71 Super beetle (best not to ask). On the way home, John Heffron and I found Café Bru- ges, a great little place with a wonderful selection of Belgian beers! I am hoping to return next year…to the show and most likely to Café Bruges! 4 Membership by Rick Brodeur MEMBERSHIP Let’s welcome some new and returning members.

If you get oil leaking from your rear end on your rear brake shoes, then your rear brakes become ineffective. Most would just replace the rear hub oil seals, gaskets, and o-rings. There are three other critical things to also consider. First thing is to check the hub itself. Many times the hub have burrs around the edges that can keep the hub and axle from seating properly and making a good seal. If there are burrs just lightly file the edges flat with the hub face. Second thing to consider is the rear end breather that is positioned on top of the rear housing on the right hand side from center.

    Competition and the Workplace in the British Automobile Industry, 1945

    Competition and the Workplace in the British Automobile Industry. 1945-1988 Steven To!!iday Harvard University This paper considers the impact of industrial relations on competitive performance. Recent changesin markets and technology have increased interest in the interaction of competitive strategies and workplace management and in particular have highlighted problems of adaptability in different national systems. The literature on the British automobile industry offers widely divergent views on these issues. One which has gained widespread acceptance is that defects at the level of industrial relations have seriously impaired company performance. Versions of this view have emanated from a variety of sources. The best known are the accountsof CPRS and Edwardes [3, 10], which argue that the crisis of the industry stemmed in large part from restrictive working practices, inadequate labor effort, excessive labor costs, and worker militancy. From a different vantage point, Lewchuk has recently argued that the long-run post-War production problems of the industry should be seen as the result of a conflict between the requirements of new American technology for greater direct management control of the production processand the constraints resulting from shopfloor "production institutions based on earlier craft technology." This contradiction was only resolved by the reassertion of managerial control in the 1980s and the "belated" introduction of Fordist techniques of labor management [13, 91. On the other hand Williams et al. have argued that industrial relations have been of only minor significance in comparison to other causes of market failure [30, 31], and Marsden et al. [15] and Willman and Winch [35] both concur that the importance of labor relations problems has been consistently magnified out of proportion.

  • 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

    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.

    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.

There will be no event in April or May and June is questionable. While preparations are being made for the Concours a board deci- tion as to whether this will take place is underway. I was asked by a member to make this announcement. Our members, Ann and Nick Paul are celebrating the homecoming of Ann. Ann suffered a massive stroke a few days after the 2019 concours at Little Swithzerland. She was hospitalized, followed by 6 months in a rehabilitation facili- ty in Beaufort, NC. Finally, Ann was allowed to return to her home in Arapahoe, NC, which has wonderful views of the Neuse River. The homecoming has brighten her spirits, and is helping to mini- mize her paralysis a bit. Please send welcome home and encouragement notes to: Ann Paul 249 China Grove Road Arapahoe, NC, 28510 This will help with her healing. Thank You, Stew and Alice King, Mesic, NC From the EDITOR Welcome to the Carolina Jaguar Club April Newsletter. Well we are in strange times.

    The Case of Nissan's Direct Investment in Great Britain and Its

    Do State and Politics Matter? The Case of Nissan‘s Direct Investment in Great Britain and Its Implications for British Leyland Tommaso Pardi This essay looks at a quite neglected side of the history of foreign direct investment (FDI) and multinationals: the political and diplomatic negotiations that often surround FDI projects and their wider implications for both the investors and the indigenous companies that might be affected by the entrance of new competitors. From this perspective, the case study analyzed here is of great relevance: it is the first direct investment made by a Japanese carmaker in Europe, and it was negotiated from 1981 to 1984 between Nissan and the British government led by Margaret Thatcher, which was also at the time the owner of the ―national champion‖ British Leyland (BL). Funding BL while attracting a new powerful competitor seemed at the time and still appears today as a very contradictory strategy. The essay will show, however, that this strategy was coherent with the shift in political support from the ailing national carmaker to its first-tier suppliers. It will also provide some new insights into the more general debate concerning the decline of BL and the role that the state and politics have played in that story. Foreign direct investment (FDI) and strategies of internationalization by multinational companies are traditional subjects of research in business history.1 But the political and diplomatic negotiations that very often 1 Mira Wilkins, The Maturing of Multinational Enterprise: American Business Abroad from 1914 to 1970 (Cambridge, Mass., 1974); Mira Wilkins, The History Tommaso Pardi <[email protected]> is a doctoral candidate in history at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and is affiliated with Cultures et Sociétés Urbaines–CNRS, Paris.
