The car has many styling features from the early Jaguar C & D, Aston Martin, Ferrari and others. The car appears to be Factory built with evidence of pressed inner & outer panels. It may have been a "Custom" built race car, Factory prototype or "Special". I discovered the car outside Mosport about seven years ago. Over the years the original frame had been replaced with a "Custom" Corvette C3 unit. To maintain the light weight build, I sourced a low mileage aluminum block GMC LS engine & 6 speed tranny from the GM Holden plant (Australia). Note: the Holden built engines are regarded as having higher output than their North American brothers. At 2400 lb.; 50/50 weight ratio and 350-400 hp. This car is FAST! Mechanically sorted...requires bodywork & paint.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 8 Travellers Car
    8 Travellers Car he Morris Traveller, as it has affectionately become known, has gained a well deserved reputation for being a practical and versatile vehicle. However, like the light commercial vehicles, it did not feature in the original line-up launched in 1948. In fact, the Traveller has the distinction of being the last Morris Minor model to enter production. It was not until autumn of 1953 that the Traveller made its debut atT the London Motor Show. Full scale production began in October of that year. Interestingly, the brochure issued at the Motor Show did not refer to the vehicle as a Traveller. American influences were clearly at work, and the designation ‘Station Wagon’ was used instead. Coincidentally, the contemporary term ‘Shooting Brake’ was also applied to the Traveller. However this was never an official designation, merely a carry over from the pre-war era when this terminology was used to describe estate type models, particularly those with wooden panelling. It is, however, a description still used today by those who have fond memories of the Traveller in its hey day. The Station Wagon designation, however apt, was short lived. Within a matter of months, updated brochures were describing the vehicle as the ‘Travellers Car,’ and linking its promotion to the bigger-engined and larger proportioned Morris Oxford Series MO Travellers Car. Advertising ran concurrent for a time, presumably to give prospective customers a choice with regard to which Morris vehicle they would like. This followed the trend already noted in connection with Morris Motors intention to manufacture large, The combined attraction of having the features of a saloon, as well as those of a light, general purpose vehicle, were actively promoted.
