To remedy this, Triumph unveiled the Dolomite Sprint in June 1973, although the launch had been delayed by a year; it had been due to go on sale in 1972. A team of engineers led by Spen King developed a 16-valve cylinder head with all of the valves being actuated using a single camshaft rather than the more conventional DOHC arrangement.

Jaguar was first offered the opportunity to provide an E-Type for the TV series “The Saint” but declined. Volvo accepted and offered a P1800, leading to increased sales. Initially, Volvo lent two cars £55.00 for the series, one for static studio shots and the other for moving shots. When the P1800S came along, one of the earlier cars was cut up to allow better interior shots. When the series Return of the £25.00 Saint was created in the 1970s, Jaguar offered the then-new XJ-S for the series.

His work is mostly remembered for the Ferrari’s that bore his name, but today, many of his other contributions are forgotten. During the 1930s, Boano created many of the great designs of Viotti, Bertone, Ghia, Farina and Castagna. Those marques afxed their names to his work, while Boano continued to work in the shadows. Born in Turin in 1903, Felice Mario Boano attended the Technical Felice Mario Boano (1903-1989) School San Carlo. He gained his rst work experience following World War I with Stabilimenti Industriali Farina, the company began by Giovanni Farina. The company was using advanced techniques for the day and he gained valuable knowledge for turning designs into fabrication. In 1930, Boano joined Battista Farina (Giovanni’s younger brother), who had started Pininfarina.

  • Climax - an Engine to Be Proud Of
    Lotus Components Climax - An engine to be proud of The Coventry Climax company has some fascinating history having, in 1903, made, not only motor cars but, engines for car, boats and generating sets. In 1914 some of their earliest engines powered the sledges that Ernest Shackleton used on the British expedition to Antartica. During the Great War, the company made a variety of generating sets for military purposes, particularly for search lights. Between the two world wars many thousands of their engines, both petrol and diesel, were used to power British cars and lorries and during World War II Coventry Climax 'Godiva' trailer fire pumps became the standard equipment specified by the British Government. An enlarged version of 1098cc was built known as the FWA ('A' being for automotive) which produced 71 bhp at 6,000 rpm. The first of these engines was finished just in time to be fitted to a Kieft sports-racing car entered in the Le Mans 24 hour race of 1954. Although the car retired after some 10 \ hours with a seized rear axle, the new engine performed well upto that point. In the following September the engine proved it's worth in the same car by winning the llOOcc class of the RAC Tourist Trophy race. By this time more racing car constructors including Cooper and Lotus ordered FWA engines which by 1955 had been developed to produce 75 bhp at 6,000 rpm. These engines were very soon successful, collecting 69 firsts, 49 seconds and 42 third places in 98 events. Also Twelve International Class 'G' records were broken at Montlhery by a Cooper with a FWA engine, including the one-hour record at 125.34 mph.

  • AISA Tavola Rotonda Sul Tema CARROZZERIA GHIA: “DESIGN A
    AISA Tavola rotonda sul tema CARROZZERIA GHIA: “DESIGN A TUTTO CAMPO” Ing. LORENZO BOSCARELLI La Ghia rappresenta un caso particolare tra le carrozzerie italiane, in quanto è l’unica azienda giunta fino ad oggi rimanendo fedele alla propria attività originaria di realizzazione di automobili, pur avendo più volte cambiato proprietà. Al contrario di Ghia le carrozzerie “storiche” italiane ancora in attività, Bertone e Pininfarina, hanno avuto un’assoluta continuità proprietaria, mentre sono scomparse tutte le aziende che non hanno saputo trovare una capacità di sopravvivenza oltre la vita di chi le aveva fondate o condotte allo sviluppo. Una seconda peculiarità della Ghia è l'apertura internazionale, che è iniziata negli anni Venti e si è sviluppata negli anni Cinquanta, in particolare con l’importante collaborazione con Chrysler. Quindi, la vicenda la vicenda della Ghia è interessante non solo dal punto di vista stilistico, ma anche da quello imprenditoriale, per il successo che l’azienda, fondandosi sulle capacità stilistiche, ha saputo mantenere nel tempo. Ing. ADRIANO GILLINO Abbiamo pensato di sviluppare la tavola rotonda sulla Ghia in un modo leggermente diverso dal tradizionale: non avremo una successione di discorsi da parte dei conferenzieri, ma, dopo una breve presentazione della carrozzeria Ghia che farà il dott. Gaspardo Moro, mostreremo delle immagini di vetture carrozzate Ghia, che saranno accompagnate dagli interventi degli stilisti qui presenti. Ora presento i relatori qui presenti, i quali tutti hanno avuto, in qualche caso hanno ancora, dei ruoli importantissimi nella storia della carrozzeria Ghia. Comincio dal dott. Gaspardo Moro che è stato l'assistente dell'ing. Luigi Segre, dopo la morte del quale è diventato Direttore Generale della Ghia.
