Brooklands - lhe war lo be won 

Industrial archeology is already 

accepted as an important part of the 

British heritage. How about sporting 

archeology? 

Once again, the greatest racing circuit 

there has ever been in this country, 

Brooklands, is under attack. Perhaps 

the war-time devastation could be forgiven 

in a time of emergency, but this 

time the threat comes from pure commercialism. 

Brooklands is already a prime industrial 

site as it is, so it is important 

that what is left is preserved. II was 

announced back in June that the 

purchase of the '40 acres' site by Gallaher 

Ltd has greatly furthered the 

Brooklands Society's plan for the 

establishment of a living museum of 

transport, which in turn will go a long 

way towards safeguarding the site's historical 

importance (the '40 acre' site includes 

the Clubhouse, Members Hill 

and Members Banking on the Veybridge 

side of the River Wey). 

Aviation's birthplace 

Just across the river lies the runway 

area, the birth place ofBritish aviation, 

and it is this that is the subject of part of 

the North West Surrey Minerals Extraction 

and Restoration Plan. Basically, 

'gravel extractions sites' - gravel 

pits to you and me - are divided into 

three categories, A, B and C. C sites are 

'sublect to overriding objections to 

mineral extraction': B sites are'valuable 

agricultural holdings': for A sites, 

however,'provided that recognised 

constraints (site access, for example) can 

be overcome satisfactorily, there is zo 

ooerriding reason (our italics) why working 

should not take place within the 

context of policy Ml0'. Brooklands has 

been classified 'Category A'- and in-

Pininfaina's latest sporting estate, the Lancia Gamma Olgiata, a one-off dkplay car 

Estate of the art 

Estates are coming back into fashion. 

Remember the Maremma, a Pininfarina 

estate version ofthe Fiat 130 coupd? 

!fle're pleased to report the famous Italian 

design studio has now turned ils 

attention to the Lancia Gamma. 

As with the Fiat 130 saloon and 

coup6, Pininfarina successfully turned 

the ugly duckling Gamma saloon into a 

swan when the sleek coupi was styled. 

Now the studio has taken the coupe 

theme one stage further with the 

beautiful Olgiata Break, which was 

first shown in this country at this year's 

Birmingham Motor Show. 

Sadly it is only a one-off experiment 

$cottish collection 

rVe've recently spent a fascinating couple 

of days looking at the Sorn Classic 

Car Collection near Kilmarnock, in 

Ayrshire. There are over 60 cars, military 

vehicles and motorcycles in the collection, 

and the cars include such 

machines as a Berkeley 500, a Ford 

Model A Phaeton, a 1939 Mercury, a 

lovely Delage D6 75'Sport' Drophead, 

a splendid Rolls-Royce Phantom II 

Tourer, a Lancia Aurelia 2500 GT, a 

Dodge Charger R"/T Hemi 426, a Corvette 

Stingray 427 L89, a Cadillac 

Allard, a Lamborghini 400 Islero, a 

Maserati 3500GT, an E-type, an Elan, 

some hairy American machinery, plus 

much, much more. 

In fact the owner of the collection is 

in the process of culling it, and shedding 

duplicates, so the following, in 

conditions varying from 'driveable' to 

'needs considerable attention' (!) are 

for sale: a 1956 Porsche 356 1600, a 

1928 Fordor ModelAFord, anamphibious 

DUK'ifl from 1943, a 1936 Model 

C Ford Tourer (only four known to 

exist according to the Ford Sidevalve 

Club), a monstrous 1959 Ford Galaxie 

Sunliner in lipstick pink (this device 

was originally owned, believe it or not, 

_s 

A preoious auempt - the F iat I 30 M aremma 

but, aesthetically, it is certainly the 

most pleasing variation on the troubled 

Gamma theme to date 

Would you haoe your house decorated by 

the man who outned this car? 

by the interior designer David Hicks!), 

a 1975 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, a 1952 

Alvis 3-litre, and a 1959 Mercedes Benz 

l90D with recon engine.

or if you would like to look around the

Body modifications included building 

up an estate rear section to fit over 

the back of the pick-up, the addition of 

some glass-fibre panels surrounding 

the bonnet and (for some unfathomable 

reason) the fitment of an A35 grille to 

the nose. Inside Citrodn 2CV seats replaced 

the Longbridge variety and 

comprehensive instrumentation was 

adapted to replace the original meagre 

dials and gauges. 

An Austin Healey 100/4 engine provided 

dramatic-enough power in the 

early days but eventually this gave way 

to a tuned 3.8 Jaguar engine and gearbox! 

At around the same time a Citro6n 

Light 15 steering system and set of 

Dunlop racing wheels from a Lister 

Jaguar were fitted. The net result of all 

this was a seemingly-inelegant 25cwt 

machine that could - and did - embarrass 

all manner of exotica including 

Porsches, Mini Coopers and the like.

sums up the car's character perfectly. 

Its second owner Allan Deacon, recording 

that reactions to the car were 

interesting and varied, added: "Sir 

John Vhitmore asked it if was for sale, 

Robin Widdows suggested I was stark 

raving mad and a girl-friend described 

it as a sort of Dormobile thing with 

deck-chairs that does 140mph."'Nuff

We see in the New Year with a trip back to the twenties and the much 

loved Austin Seven. Our profile looks in depth at this endearing car of the 

people and tells you what to look for when buying one today. 

Jumping fonrvard a few decades we look at the Ginetta legend, and 

identify each of the marque's models, while Willie Green has been driving 

a G12, just like the one he raced in the early sixties. We compare back-toback 

two cars that startled when they first appeared - and still offer 

advances over many so-called modern cars, the Citrodn DS21 and the 

NSU Ro80. On a lighter note we've been out and about in a faithful replica 

of one ol the most unusual record cars every built - a Messerschmitt, no 

less - as well as behind the wheel of an ltalian-bodied D-type Jaguar. 

And there's more. The MG Magnette comes under the Cmsstc arvo 

SponrscaR spotlight, while we also feature a very unusual Singer and an 

Aston that's not an Aston. All this, plus our regular features, can be found 

in the January 1983 issue of CLASSTo AND SpoRrscAR. Out December 15,

And you have the cheek to give him

Well, let me tell you. Most of us 

do not have the so-called classics like

Many thanks for publicising my appeal 

(C&S, October) for Invicta information; 

already it is bringing in returns. 

The'mystery'car (DL-18) at Cowes in 

1903, portrayed on page I5, I suggest 

could be a 20hp Beeston Humber. 

The single-spoke steering wheel, a 

distinctive Humber identification feature 

for many years in the Veteran and 

Edwardian period, and the shape of the 

starting handle grip seem to be to confirm 

this, and I think, though from the 

angle of the shot and the rather dark 

areas in question it is hard to be positive, 

that the frame is tubular, as was 

the frame on this model at the time.

Hitchin, Herts 

sports Horstman registered NW907 

was Captain Trubie Moore's car. He 

competed with it in a great deal of 

sprints and hillclimbs tn the 7922-24 

period, including the Holme Moss 

climb in 1923 and 1924. I suspect 

strongly that the shot of this car with 

(sketchy) road equipment on page 83 

was taken at Holme Moss. 

Another very successful Horstman 

contender at the same period was G.S. 

Boston, whose car (F83477) managed 

fifth place non-stop at an average speed 

of 87.28mph in the 1923 Brooklands 

200-Miles Race driven by Hawkes. 

Boston had numerous other successes 

in sprints and hillclimbs with this car 

and also drove various 30/98 Vauxhalls.

Thelastword 

My fust impression on reading Peter 

Jones' letter in the November issue of 

Cusstc AND SPoRTSCAx about the relative 

merits of MGs vis-a-vis Singers 

was that such subiective and dogmatic 

nonsense hardly merited an answer. 

However, lest anyone be taken in by it, 

I feel I ought to set the record straight. 

If Mr Jones had not seen Singers in action 

in sporting events he had not been 

looking in the right places. The MCC 

Classic Trials - Land's End, Exeter 

and Edinburgh - invariably features a 

strong Singer entry as do a number of 

sprints and PCTs. It is not therefore 

true to say that there are few Singers in 

active use! 

It is true that Singers are less common 

than MGs; this of course is because 

fewer were made, and also explains 

why fewer are advertised for sale 

now. This does not however imply, as 

Mr Jones seems to think, that the Singer 

is the inferior car. The number of 

sales is not an indication of the merits of 

a car in the eyes ofthe experts. 

Thesunrivor 

I read with great pleasure, the article on 

finding the 1923 Galloway in a shed 

(CCyS, lVonlry, November). The 

locality of the shed is not mentioned 

but the car is almost certainly the one 

which was stored in my uncle's workshop 

and in which, as a young lad in the 

thirties, I played at 'motors'. Later, 

having gained a little mechanical knowledge, 

I got thecar running. 

The car was stored in what can only 

be termed as a veritable paradise - my 

uncle being a self-employed wheelwright 

in Wigston, Leicestershire. The 

workshop was full of all sorts of 

machinery, all driven by belts and 

shafting from a gas engine. 

LovelyLusso 

I read with interest your article about 

Lancia Fulvias (C&S, October). In the 

20 years that I have been driving, I have 

been lucky enough to own 17 motor 

cars, ranging from a Mini to an Aston 

Martin. Two of these were a Lancia 

Fulvia 53 and 1.6 HF Lusso. In my 

opinion, the latter was the most exciting 

of all the cars in terms of general 

feel, road holding and performance. 

Another one of the reasons that the 

car was such a joy to own, was that I 

met a gentleman called Harry Manning 

of Heather End near Farnham. He is 

probably one of the most knowledgeable 

people, not only on Fulvias, but 

also on Aprilias, Aurelias, Flaminias 

and Flavias. Certainly, I do feel that 

any book or article on Lancias would 

not be complete without, at the very 

least, the mention of his name. He is 

responsible more so than any other person 

in the UK for there being any Fulvias 

on the roads at all. 

The fact is that MGs enioy a cult status 

and Singers do not. The reason for 

this is clear enough: it is that the MG 

name has ben kept alive, with all its 

sporting connotations, right up to the 

present day whereas the Singer name 

lost its sporting image when production 

of the Le Mans ceased, after an 

illustrious career which included much 

success in motor sports. 

tVhen Rootes took over Singer 

Motors, the sporting image was not resurrected 

as Rootes considered this 

should be the preserve of the Sunbeam 

marque. The Singers were instead 

marketed as cars of quality and 

luxury, based on Hillmans. 

Singers do not therefore have a recent 

enough sporting image to make 

the layman think of them automatically 

as sports cars; everyone, however, 

knows what an MG represents, 

whether old or new, and can easily 

identify with it. 

John Simister

This conespondence is nmt; closed- Ed. 

Besides the Galloway, he also had a 

l9l3 Zenith Gradua and a 1929 New 

Hudson 350 motorcycle. During the 

war, he also stored for friends a Citro6n 

Light l5 and more importantly, a 

BSA l0hp Coupd, the four stud wheels 

of which we discovered would fit the 

Galloway. 

In later years I remember him telling 

me he had sold the Galloway to, I 

think, someone who lived at Blaby, 

Leicestershire. 

Being the owner of three old motors 

and an ex-rVD Matchless motorcycle 

myself, I am more than pleased that the 

Galloway appears to have survived. 

Maybe I will see it again one day.

lV igs ton, Leice stnshire 

You are right when you say that Fulvias 

do not have a following amonst the 

'Classic Car' people and are, therefore, 

cheap to buy (although Briggs 

Cunningham has two in his museum in 

California). It does mean, however, 

that people who would not normally be 

able to afford to buy an exclusive make 

of car can sample the excitement of 

Lancia motoring and, with the help of 

Harry Manning, should be able to 

maintain it at a very reasonable cost.

DidDelagebankon 

Montlh6ry? 

Your article on the Becquet-Delage 

now owned by Nigel Arnold-Forster 

(@S, November) contains many interesting 

points. The query as to why 

Delage retained the car after its unsuccessful 

debut in the 1923 French GP 

might be that Montlhery was to open in 

1924 and an aero-engined high-geared 

(two-speed) car would be useful for 

track racing. 

It might seem unlikely that such a 

famous company as Delage would race 

a car with another make of engine, but 

one might draw a parallel here of 

\flolseley campaigning an Hispano- 

Suiza-powered Napier at Brooklands 

as a \(olseley-Viper, at about the same 

time. You say the Hispano-Suiza en-

I read with great interest your article 

'The Cat's whiskers' in the October 

Classrc axo Sron'rscnn. 

I recall - possibly in 1959 or 1960 - 

that a restaurateur in Mayfair, Wl, 

had a similar car. His was a black 3.8 

Jaguar Mkl saloon. 

At the time not many people were 

interested, it was just another car, but 

to an enthusiast this car bellowing 

down Maddox Street was something 

else, a foy to an enthusiast's ear. 

Lancia legend lives on 

Your article on the Lancia Fulvia 

series (CCIS, October) was particularly 

interesting to me as I have long 

been a lover of Italian sportscars and 

saloons. 

My association began with a Fiat 

124 ST and progressed through other 

twin cam Fiats and several Alfa 

Romeos. In spite of the fact that I 

drove many 'fast' cars during time 

spent in the motor trade and still own 

a Porsche 9ll, I love Italian machinery 

most. 

Recently I was in the market for an 

estate large enough to cope with the 

family dogs. I looked at many used 

Escorts, Chevettes, Allegros and so 

on and, in desperation at the shoddy 

machines my budget could cover, I 

went to look at a Lancia HPE 1600 of 

1975 vintage. 

What a car! 

Even to a man who had recently 

bought a 1750 GTV Alfa, this was 

dffirent. Not a Fiat, not an Alfa. This

modified either by Delage or someone 

else, because Marc Birkigt had the 

cams attacking the valve-stems directly, 

in conjunction with his ingenious 

clearance adiustment, on this and the 

H6B car engines. 

In the same issue, I see that John 

Bolster says that many of the chassis 

parts ofhis 1903 7hp Panhard are identical 

to those of the racing 70hp 

Panhard-Levassors. All praise to drivers 

like Jarrott, Teste, Pinson, Leys, de 

Knyff, Heath, the Farman brothers, 

and the rest who drove them over the 

unguarded roads of the great pioneer 

motor races - although they did not 

have the congestion of'Brighton Sunday' 

to contend with.

The owner, I recall, was Albert 

Powell, who at one time held the 

saloon car lap record at Brands 

Hatch. On one occasion, if my memory 

does not fail me, he told me that 

the car was identical to Mike Hawthorn's 

3.8. 

At the time only 2.4 and 3.4s were 

being made. Could this have been a 

private endeavour on the part of Mr 

Powell as Lofty England knows nothing 

of this?

car was certainly distinctive. Sure, the 

harshness of the twin cam was exactly 

as I remembered from the Fiat STs 

but there any similarity ended. FWD, 

light handling, and super brakes; exquisite 

seats and trim; useful features 

such as the split rear seat (invaluable 

in arranging a sprawling greyhound in 

cool comfort in the pub carpark); the 

sharp lines of the car; the complete 

instrumentation . . . all these things 

make the HPE the most individualistic 

car I've ever owned. 

'lhis Lancia is very different and 

although I have not had the privilege 

of driving a Fulvia or Zagato, I must 

insist that the modern Lancia is not a 

loosely disguised Fiat. It is an interestrng, 

excrtrng car rn rts own 

right. I enioyed your article and respect 

your opinions, but please, don't 

wallow in nostalgia for its own sake. 

I hope my observations will help to 

show that the Lancia legend lives on. 

Try one and see!

Monteverdi mishap 

Errors in your 'A to Z' guide to postwar 

cars are rare, but I feel I ought to 

point out that the car pictured above 

the 'Monteverdi High Speed 375' caption 

(CfyS, November) is not a 375 at 

all, but a Berlinetta. The Berlinetta was 

introduced in 1972 as a replacement for 

the 3755 (two-seater), featuring the 

Chrysler 6974cc 'Hemi' engine in place 

of the 7206cc unit, and a slightly restyled 

front end. It continued in production 

alongside the 375L (2+2) until 

1976, the latter having the Hemi engine 

as an option. 

It should also be pointed out that 

Devon rumbling 

While reading the article in the October 

issue of Cl,rssrc AND SPoRTSCAR 

regarding that rather superb Mkl 

Jaguar, something stirred in my 

memory. 

From 1958 to the early sixties I 

worked as a mechanic for the Jaguar 

distributors in Exeter, Devon, and 

one day a customer came in with 

rumbling big ends on a very early 

Mkl 2.4. I believe this was one of the 

very first 2.4s as there were several 

factory modifications required on the 

car which had not been carried out 

when they should have been. 

The customer was a stranger to us, 

and did not appear to have more than 

a rudimentary knowledge of cars. He 

didn't know what was wrong with his 

and big end rattle on early 

car 

well-used 2.4s was not entirely unknown 

at that time. 

Upon examination of the car, it was 

obvious it had had considerable modifications, 

having been fitted with 2" 

SUs, a C-type head, and 9:l pistons. 

It also had an additional fuel pump 

f 

b\ 

Pietro Frua did designs for both the 

3755 and the 375L, but both of these 

cars were re'placed in 1969 by re-bodied 

versions by Fissore which differed 

from each other only in length of 

wheelbase. Fissore also designed the 

37514, a four-door, six-seater limousine 

based on a lengthened 375L chassis 

which was produced between l97l and 

1976. 

I hope you won't take these mistakes 

to heart, however, as they are commonly 

- and easily - made, and I, for one, 

was pleasantly surprised to see Monteverdi 

mentioned in your guide at all. 

Dan Goldstein

and tank, as well as brake air scoops 

which were definitely non-standard. 

Since this was the first modifred 2.4 

I had seen, I was most excited, and 

questioned the owner about the previous 

history of the car. He thought it 

had been used for racing at one time, 

and had in fact bought the car from 

Mike Hawthorn very recently, but 

wasn't too sure of its history. Do any 

of your readers know of its whereabouts? 

At the time the colour was 

white with, I believe, red trim, and 

wire wheels, and I think the owner 

lived in the Midlands. 

Vhile on the subiect of Jaguars, 

there was also a customer in Lyme 

Regis who owned a 1953 XKl20 

Drophead SE model in BRG. 

This had a C-type head, and I rebuilt 

the engine with 9:I pistons. 

This car, too, had been extensively 

modified, and I would dearly like to 

know its whereabouts. I also recall it 

had massive brake air scoops to overcome 

brake fade which was co[rmon 

with the model.

Mike trtlorthingrton-Williams turns his attention this month to 

Premiers, Gloverlys, Buicks and other interesting topics 

Premierduo 

It isn't often that this column has the 

chance to help a l2-year-old enthusiast 

complete the restoration of a rare vintage 

car with his Dad, so we're delighted 

to follow up our November'81 O/d 

Motor story relating to Robin Longmore 

and son Mark. 

Robin lives in Walsall, West Midlands, 

and following research by Mark 

into the Coventry-built Coventry- 

Premier cyclecar, was tempted to buy 

the remains of chassis number 1333, 

fitted with engine number S.303 from 

C. Yeomans of Belbroughton, near 

Kidderminster. Registered OH 7.Ml (a 

Birmingham number circa 1920/21) 

the remains consisted of front axle, 

stub axles, engine and clutch, all three 

wheels, rear suspension but no chassis 

or gearbox. 

The Premier Cycle Co, who had 

built successful cycles and motor cycles, 

announced a four-wheeled light 

car during the Great War. Their postwar 

three wheelers enioyed some success, 

but Singer took them over to prevent 

bankruptcy, producing some four 

wheelers - latterly with the fourcylinder 

pushrod ohv Singer engine - 

and the marque was phased out after 

the 1923 season. 

Mark traced chassis number 025 (engine 

number All), a very early l9l9 

type, registered HP 416, in the Coventry 

Motor Museum. It was the original 

car tested in l9l9 by The Motor Cycle. 

Another car owned by Brian Kingsley 

was inadvertently scrapped while dismantled, 

leaving him with only an engine 

and log book, and these were sold 

to L. Speadbury of Voking in 1977.

chassis number 1248 (engine number 

S.218), found in V/ales in 1976 minus 

all bodywork, wheels, front axle, steering 

and log book. It has now been allocated 

a 'period' number - DS 6570 - 

but restoration has not yet commenced. 

All of which was interesting, but not 

much help in achieving a restoration of 

OH744l, or the acquisition of missing 

parts. We were, however, able to put 

Mark in touch with David Rosewarne 

of Eastbourne, who had a collection of 

Coventry-Premier literature, and then, 

by one ofthose strange coincidences we 

have recounted many times before, 

Christopher Nicholls of Swansea contacted 

us. 

He had unearthed a cache of parts in 

some dilapidated sheds in Pontardulais 

which included two dismantled Austin 

Sevens, a motorcycle, stationary engine 

and lathe. All the parts had been 

laying in boxes since before the Second 

!?orld rVar but were pretty well complete 

and undistrubed when found. 

Most importantly, however, the 

cache also included an engine, gearbox, 

chassis cross-bracing (including handbrake 

and gear lever), rear suspension, 

front axle, windscreen support, head 

lamp and horn from Coventry- 

Premier, chassis number 1466, engine 

number 5.438. This was fust registered 

CY 4586 on July 18, 1921. 

Did we know anyone who might 

need such parts? Neither Mark nor 

Robin could believe their good luck 

when we telephoned them, but we're 

pleased to say that the parts have now 

been purchased and it looks as though 

restoration will commence to make one 

good car from the two. Does anyone 

else know ofany other survivors? 

Luverley Gloverly 

Mention of a Liversidge body for the 

early De Dion bus which Barry \Weatherhead 

found under a bungalow, 

(C&S, November), reminds us that 

Glover Webb and Liversidge is still in 

business in Hamble, Hants, building 

municipal, security and other special 

commercial vehicle bodies. 

Its history, however, dates back to 

1720 - a time when Christopher Wren, 

Isaac Newton, Peter the Great and the 

Duke of Marlborough were alive. Carriage 

springs had been invented less 

than 15 years previously and another 

I00 would pass before macadamised 

roads began to appear. 

In those days, the companies which 

were later absorbed to form Glover 

Webb and Liversidge built phaetons, 

gigs and broughams for the gentry, 

Royal Mail coaches, brewer's drays and 

carts of all kinds. Webb & Sons specialised 

later in building patent horsedrawn 

coal vans and trolleys with interchangeable 

parts, an example of standardisation 

which was both revolutiont4 

ary and successful in its day and age. 

Around the turn of the century the 

company turned its attention to petrolengined 

goods vehicles under the 

Gloverly marque name, the first of 

these making its appearance in 1900. 

Glover Brothers, who had not at that 

time amalgamated with rVebb & Sons, 

were located at 28 Cleveland Street, 

London. They later moved to Vestminster 

Bridge Road as Glover & 

Vebb and in 1926, following the 

absorption of J. Liversidee & Son, to 

the latter's premises in Old Kent Road. 

Gloverly vehicles boasted forward 

control, gilled-tube radiators, irontyred 

wooden wheels and chain-drive. 

Drivers had to cope with a vertical 

steering column and a total absence of 

weather protection. By 1905 they were 

making covered vans for Hamptons, 

the furniture people of Pall Mall (the 

driver was still in the open, though) but 

it seems likely that production ceased 

shortly afterwards in favour of body 

building. The move to Hamble took 

place in 1970, and para-military vehicles 

feature in the present range.

Twinshaftsagas 

From time to time in this column we've 

reported the discovery and rescue of a 

large number of Great War and twenties 

solid tyred trucks - Leyland, 

Albion, Peerless, Selden - but very 

rarely do we ever come across examples 

ofthe Austin 2/3 tonner. 

Although hailed as a most advanced 

design when first announced in 

1913, it was never over-successful commercially, 

and had it not been for the 

Great War is unlikely to have been built 

in very great numbers. It bristled with 

unusual features, including a dashboard 

radiator and "coal scuttle" bonnet 

(ofthe type favoured by Renault and 

Kelly-Springfield among others), a 

steering column which proiected 

through the cab and terminated well 

forward of the front wheels, a massive 

chassis of latticed construction at the 

rear, and twin shaft drive from a separate 

transfer 'box by angled shafts to 

each ofthe pairs oftwin rear wheels. 

Power was provided by a 25hp fourcylinder 

engine with separately cast 

cylinders, the gearbox was fitted with 

four speeds and a central change lever 

(unusual for the period). At least 2000 

were built for both civilian and military 

use. Large fleet users like Waring & 

Gillow and Bird's Custard favoured 

them, and many went to Russia for the 

Czar's army before the October l9l7 

Bolshevik Revolution. 

Undoubtedly they were robust, but 

cumbersome too, and rather complicated 

mechanically. The rear of the 

chassis was suspended on double sets of 

semi-elliptic springs mounted both 

above and below the rear axle. The latter 

(and the drive shafts) passed 

through the lattice work of the chassis 

giving it a semi-underslung appearance 

and relatively low centre ofgravity. 

Two came under the hammer at 

Sotheby's sale of the contents of the 

Pembrokeshire Motor Museum, but 

both were chassis only, although drive 

shafts, gearbox and steering gear as 

Two

well as some body parts were included. 

This column found a twin shaft gearbox 

a while back in a Tenterden wood 

yard coupled to an 8hp aircooled Rover 

twin of about 1922. Both engine and 

gearbox were mounted on a crude trolley 

and drove a winch for hauling timber. 

The gearbox went to Andrew Ping 

who is wrestling with the restoration of 

a twin shaft chassis. 

The problem has always been, 

however, that no one has ever been able 

to find the correct type of 25hp Austin 

engine to complete the running gear, 

and although a similar engine was exhibited 

in the Pembrokeshire Motor 

Museum (but not included in the sale), 

this was the l5hp car engine of the same 

period which would, of course, provide 

insufficient power. 

Just recently, however, Jack Cole of 

I I Tinshill Lane, Leeds found the correct 

unit in a Leeds scrapyard. Unfortunately 

it is missing the updraught 

brass carburettor, magneto with drive 

pinion, manifolds, brass valve caps, fan 

and other 'externals'. But . . . it's a 

start. It seems incredible that, with 

2000 built, no others have survived. 

tVe're hoping that a well known 

commercial vehicle enthusiast will 

tackle the two Pembrokeshire chassis - 

they differ slightly but could be combined 

to make one soazd vehicle - and 

perhaps Jack Cole could be persuaded 

to part with the engine to complete the 

basics. It would be fun if one of these 

rare and unusual "old cont'emptibles" 

could be restored again - they used to 

run as double decker buses in Cambridge; 

now rlratwould be fun.

Dennis Head, actually, the Chairman 

of the Pretoria Old Motor Club in 

South Africa, and it wouldn't have 

progressed far without him. The story 

commences quite a few years ago, when 

this H-X-45 (the X stands for export) 

Buick tourer was found lying in a forest 

clearing at the foot of Mt Mafuba in 

Natal, South Africa. 

A l9l9 model, it was in a pretty parlous 

state, but most of the essential 

mechanical and chassis parts were 

either still on the car or scattered in the 

near vicinity. Bodywork was, however, 

practically non-existent and the whole 

project must have been daunting to 

even the most dedicated enthusiast. 

It is a tribute to Dennis's perseverance 

that the engine was running within 

two years, using the original main 

bearings and big end bearings but replacing 

only the pistons, little ends, 

one rocker, some motor-generator 

(dynamo) parts and the pump drive 

shaft. 

Rebuilding of the wooden wheels 

was undertaken by a professional 

workshop, but beaded edge rims (875 

x 105) have been a problem. Dennis, 

who would appreciate any tips which 

would enable him to obtain these, also

complete with braking mechanism, 

solid-tyred wheels and Ackermann

And we'l1 give you value for money. Koni's cost much the 

same as the standard replacementqand what's more will last

Theacherous 

Multi-Metal Corrosion. 

What is not generally known is that treacherous 

electrical inter-action between dissimilar 

metals intensifies corrosive action. 

Todays cars are all multi-melal constructions: 

Zinc, Steel, Aluminium, Copper, 

Srainless Steel, Cadmium. Water passing 

over any of these metals, then on to steel 

bodywork, even some distance away, causes 

rapid corrosion, and your car loses that 

"Showroom" condition.

Successful Rustproofer lo Beat 

Multi-Metal Corrosion 

as well as Road Salt Rusting on Mild Stcel. 

Original Waxoyl lbrmula, now furlher 

deviloped, produces greatly intensil'ied 

po*cr resulting from unccasing R&D in

deeper Penelralion into metal and rusl pores'

mark of any rustprooli'r's real 

worth.

Most Sinister of all 

Road Conditions in Lab. Tests 

Finnigan's chemists used what is a formidable 

combination of two dissimilar type 

metals: Copper wire wrapped around Steel' 

Degreased Steel plates were tightly overwrapped 

with emery rubbed Copper wire. 

Twelve of these plates were each sprayed with 

salt water and immediately coated on top of 

the salt solution with twelve leading 

advertised rustproofers, including 

WAXOYL. This most sinister of rust-rot 

tests lasted seven days, by then, only the 

WAXOYLED plate remained bright and 

clean. 

Colour leaflets, available on request, show 

how the test plates reacted. 

The test results also proved conclusively that 

the further developed new WAXOYL 

formula is fully capable of everyhing thal is 

promised of it as an all-metal presjervative.

Our stunning Aston Marlin DB6 Mk ll Volante will not be with us for much longer. This is the third and final part of our free 

competition so soon we will be ploughing through the mounds of answers from hopeful readers. Once a winner has been 

established - the ludges, by the way, are Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, Victor Gauntlett of Aston Martin, who previously 

owned the car, and Matthew Carter, editor of Cmsstc eruo Sponrscnn - he or she will be invited to the Aston Martin factory 

at Newport Pagnellto take delivery ol EGC 49H. Someone, somewhere is about to have a dream come true. 

Part 3, and the final eight questions in our '!fin an Aston' competition. Vhile 

those in the first issue were from the sixties and seventies and those in the second 

centred on Aston Martins, the third selection are largely based on the fifties. As 

before, some questions will appear easy, some difficult . . . but remember those 

you find easy someone else will find impossible, and vice versa. Anyone who does 

manage to score 100 per cent will truly be a motoring mastermind. rVe confidently 

expect no-one to do that! 

Now that you have the complete quiz to hand, enter your answers on the form

In the early fifties saloon car racing was a simple 

matter to follow. The cars were (more or less) 

showroom-standard. There was no advertising 

plastering them. There was no Group l, lt/2,2, or 

any combination you might care to mention, 

depending on which Championship you're 

contesting, as we see today. Entrants were divided 

simply by engine capacity - up to I lirre, I to 2-litres, 

2 to 3-litres, over 3-litres and so on. 

And there was only a few events that were of vital 

importance to a manufacturer whose products had 

any sort of sporting pretensions. The Monte Carlo 

Rally was one, the RAC Rally another. But on the 

track, there was really only one: the Daily Express 

Production Touring Car Race. It was important 

enough to appear in Bitish Mooietonews ar the local 

flea-pit, complete with pre-Murray \i7alker, mildly 

hysterical, commentary. 

It was invariably won by a Mk VII Jaguar, driven 

by such people as a young Stirling Moss (who won it 

in 1952 and 1953), Tony Rolt, Ian Appleyard al a/. 

Funher back, in the mid-field, there was ofren a 

ding-dong battle for the 2 to 3-litre class, and the main 

protagonists were Howard Grace, Lyndon Sims and 

A.P.O. Rogers in 2/:-htre Rileys and Gerry Dunham 

in a 3-litre Alvis, with an inrrusion by Reg Parnell, 

Ken Wharton and George Abecassis in Daimler 

Conquests in 1954. For those who remember the 

period, it was a golden era in British motoring. 

Both the Riley and the Alvis were effectively the 

first two genuine post-war models from either 

company, though there was rather more pre-war 

carry-over in the Riley than the Alvis. 

Riley Iirst, thenAlvis 

The Riley appeared firsr, in l TzJitre (RMA) form, 

in 1946, to be followed later in the year by its larger 

stablemate, the 2th-itre (RMB). The Alvis 3-litre 

(TA2l) followed in 1950, replacing the 2-litre, fourcylinderTAl4. 

The Rileys were a strange combination of the old 

and the new. As Riley was part of the Nuffield 

Organisation, the new cars might well have been 

badge-engineered Morrises (as was to happen later), 

but they were allowed to follow their own course 

wearing their blue diamond badges with pride. 

The maior carry-over was the four-cylinder 

engine. This featured traditional Riley practice, with 

twin camshafts mounted high in the block, operating 

the valves via strort pushrods and rockers. ln2443cc 

form (via a bore of 80mm and a stroke of l20mm) this 

big four gave 90bhp initially, but from 1949 onwards 

this was increased to a nicely even l00bhp. 

The chassis was a sturdy affair, with a 

straightforward, leaf-sprung rear axle. At the front, 

however, the cars broke new ground. There was 

independent front suspension, via wishbones and 

coil springs, inspired by the Citro6n Traction Aoant, 

and rack-and-pinion steering. 

Clothing the mechanicals was a body of timeless 

elegance - but ofdated construction. It consisted of 

steel panelling over an ash frame, a method of 

construction that very few post-war manufacturers 

followed. Topping it was a fabric-covered roof, a 

feature that was to be revived in popularity years later 

when'the Vinyl roof became all the rage. 

The heart ofthe new Alvis was also the engine, but 

in this case it was a 2993cc six, with conventional 

pushrod-operated valves driven by a single camshaft 

in the usual manner. In the TA2l it had a single Solex 

carburettor, giving 90bhp, bur with the introduction 

ofthe TC2l in 1953, this was increased to rhat nice, 

even lOObhp again, via rhe use of twin SUs, and a 

higher'compresion ratio. The TC2ll100, also called 

the'Grey Lady', appeared at the Earls Court Motor

recirculating-ball steering, and a leaf-sprung live rear 

axle. The all-steel bodywork, with traditional Alvis 

radiator outline, was similar in general shape to the 

Riley, though with helmet-type wings and rounded 

tail it looked a little stubbier - but it was a shapely car 

nevertheless. 

The RMB Riley was in production from 1946 

(when 17 cars were made) to 1953, with a total 

production over those years of 8960 units. The 

TA2l, TC2l and TC2l/100 were made from l95l to 

1955, with a mere2O74 cars rolling off the line, the 

TC2l/100, ofcourse, only being available from 1953. 

Prices, minus the punitive purchase tax, in the year 

when production of the ZVz-litre and the Alvis 

overlapped, 1953, were f, 1055 and tl 285 ' 

Both cars were built at a time when the British 

motor industry was renowned world-wide for that 

(apparently now elusive) feature' quality. From their 

upright, and instantly recognisable, grilles, through

The Riley's white dials look slightly fussl 

their flowing wings, via acres of leather and wood 

inside, they were aimed at the middle to upper market. 

They were status symbols for professional 

people, binkers, lawyers and so on. Through their 

competition efforts, laughable perhaps by presentday 

standards, they had a mildly sporting image too. 

The Alvis, because of the price difference, and low 

volume of production, was more up-market, though. 

To put it in current terms, the Riley might be termed 

the BMV 528i, the Alvis the Rover 35005. 

Alvis was the quicker 

On paper, the TC2l/100 was the quicker, with.a 

maximum speed of l00.lmph, scraping by the skin 

of its teeth into the magic 'tO0mph' class, while the 

Riley achieved 90.lmph. On acceleration, too, the 

Alvii could show a clean pair of heels to the Riley, 

with a 0-60mph time of l5.4sec to the latter's 

16.9sec. Fuel consumption for both was around the 

20mpg mark. 

T[re histories of the two cars we drove and 

photographed for this feature could make a story in 

ihemselves. The Alvis TC2l/100 has been owned 

from new, since 1955, by Joe Moore, the car costing 

him I I 830 lOs l0d. It is, in fact, only the second car he 

has ever owned, the other prior to the Alvis being a 

Lanchester 14. It has covered near enough 100,000 

miles and, if not in totally immaculate condition (it 

was done up a few years ago), is more than 

presentable and bears its age incredibly well. It was 

driven down from Stratford, where Mr Moore lives, 

by Rowland Simmons. His company, Red Triangle, 

is the Mecca o[ all enthusiasts of the marque since it 

was formed in 1968 with the full approval of Alvis 

themselves, and the company bought all of Alvis's 

stock of spares at the same time. 

Ray Moriarty's RMF, on the other hand, has-led 

an evlntful life. It had three previous owners before 

Ray bought it from the third, his brother, in 1979. 

Ray's brother had carried out an engine rebuild and 

was in the process offurther renovation - when a tree 

fell on it! Driver and passenger had to escape via the 

windscreen. Ray then took over the restoration to the 

extent that he is'now a keen enthusiast ofthe marque, 

and his car has won a number ofconcours trophies' 

In theory, the Alvis ought to be the more sporty of 

the two. In fact, as Kenneth Day points out in his 

treatise on the marque (Alais - the story of the red 

tiangle), 'The TA was intended to be very smooth 

and hexibte rather than to give the maximum in 

speed.' The TC2 l/ 100 went some way towards giving 

Alvis a competition orientated image, but somehowthe 

name Grey Lady', with its connotations of 

elegance, unruffled behaviour, discretion and uppercrust 

quality, seems most apt. The Riley, on the 

other hand, seems to urge the driver on to greater 

speeds. - Inside they both feature beautiful wooden facias, 

the Alvis's more simple and subtle, the Riley's more 

busy. Both have clearly readable instruments set in 

the-middle of their respecdve expanses of wood' 

Speedometers predominate - neither has a 

tachometer, rather surprisingly. You look out, again 

on both, along a lovely stretch ofbonnet, the edges ol 

the radiatorsitearly defined, and with the rounded 

wings either side disappearing back gracefully from 

view at about leg tevel. Vision out of the rear is 

restricted to say the least, with miniscule rear 

windows, though the rear view mirrors show 

enough.

Twonamesfromthe past, the Riley RMF and lois TC2 I I I 00 - or Grey Lady - 

Similarities occur in the driving positions as well. 

You sit high, on upright seats, faced with large 

steering wheels quite close to your chest - it's more 

thirites than sixties. The front seats on the Alvis are 

more like half a bench set, those of the Riley closer to 

true buckets: thus there is a little more side support 

in the Riley, which helps in cornering. To modern 

eyes, it is surprising how small they look inside, 

particularly their narrowness which leads to a 

lack of elbow room. Yet I can remember regarding 

them as big cars when I was young - it must be that 

I'm more used to full-width bodywork. It must be 

said, though, that they are full four-seaters, and both 

Ray and Rowland commented on the amount of rear 

seat room and comfort, which draws praise from 

passengers on long trips. 

Driving the Alvis, it soon becomes clear that 

refinement and smoothness was high on the list of 

design priorities. The engine is inaudible at idle, and 

never rises above a muted hum. It is also free of any 

vibration or harshness, so that progress is respectable 

and flowing. The engine is very torquey, and you 

find yourself changing into top at relatively low 

speeds, gathering speed gradually but steadily, with 

barely a murmur from the engine, the only noise 

intrusion coming from some gear whine. 

The gear change, by today's standards, is slow (it's 

Clrsstc rno Sponrscrn. Dur:rnaen 1982 

a case of'pause-2-3' between changes), but on the 

other hand there is no sloppiness, rubberiness or 

vagueness. There is a well-defined gate, the action is 

light, the movements definite, like well-oiled 

machinery rather than rubber-bushed gear stirrers. 

The clutch took up quite close to the end ofits travel, 

while the brake pedal had rather a long, spongy 

movement, but they and the accelerator work 

progressively (it is in the foot controls that the Alvis, 

more than the Riley, shows its age - but then this is 

the sort of thing that the owner gets used to, and 

doesn't notice, over a period oftime). 

Eearry and ponderous steering 

lifhere the Alvis scores heavily is in its ride. It is 

nicely resilient, taking potholes without a quiver 

even though you can hear the distant thump from 

the suspension as you go over them. In this sense, it is 

surprisingly modern. On the other hand, the steering 

is heavy and ponderous at low speeds, and the car 

corners on its cross-plies in a rather soggy 

understeering way. Though there is no lost 

movement in the steering, it is vague too, so that 

driving a straight course requires quite a bit of wheel 

movement. 

From the moment you start the Riley, on the other 

hand, you know the car is raring to go. The engine 

at rest duing our bach to bach test . sahons with a touch oJ'class 

has a distinctly more rorty sound, especially when on 

full throttle, with a throaty roar that is pleasant. 

The gearchange on the Riley is marginally quicker 

than that ofthe Alvis. It, too, has a distinct change, is 

light and positive, with a definite gate and the same 

lack offree play as the Alvis's. The foot controls on 

the fuley are also more progressive and are more 

equally weighted, with similar travels. 

Vhen it comes to the ride, the Riley takes second 

place to the Alvis: it isn't harsh or stiff, but there is 

quite a lot of iiggle and you know the suspension's 

working away beneath you. But then it makes up for 

it with its roadholding and handling: the steering is 

lighter and more direct (though still ponderous by 

present standards), and there is much less understeer 

and roll. You can, in fact, corner the Riley 

surprisingly quickly, and the faster you go the more 

neutral it seems to be. Taken in coniunction with the 

better gearchange, and an engine that cries out to be 

used to the full, the Riley thus becomes the car that 

would appeal more to the enthusiast. 

Two cars, then, of a similar age, specification, 

image, and - roughly - performance. But above all, 

two cars with one very strong similarity: character. 

Different personalities, maybe, but quite definite 

character. Ponder on that as you drive your 

anonymoustinbox. \1---'

in his'small electric bathtub' which 

machines 

Avisionary waybefore his time was a little-known Germanr, Hansfulius Keitel-but his views on 

lightness and streamlining are valid today. Jerry Sloniger reports 

Hans Julius Keitel? The car building history of this 

engineer from south-west Germany offers clear proof 

of a phrase we toss off all too lightly: there is really 

nothing new under the automotive sun. 

At best, Keitel might be remembered among 

engineers as the distinguised head of Dornier 

powerplant design from late 1924 to the end of the 

Second Vorld War. Even Dornier historians, 

however, seem hardly aware that this same quiet man 

was a proper revolutionary among car designers 

before, and perhaps even during, his Dornier days. 

Like many visionaries, Keitel ran too far ahead of 

the pack, advocating light, frameless cars to make 

best use of small engines by reducing both wind azd 

rolling resistance, immediately after the Great rVar. 

Focused on his own revolution he settled for 

ineffective engines, even calling them a virtue. But 

the basis for public acceptance was performance, 

even then. 

This doesn't necessarily mean his direction was 

wrong, nor that a proper graduate engineer in 

Germany would lack some backing. His theories 

were covered by car publications of the era and more 

than one Keitel idea was both built and driven. But 

his name never appeared on an automobile factory. 

Yet Hans Keitel combined some of the best 

precepts of a Rumpler or Grade, who did manage 

some sort of 'production', and of Deuschle or Jaray 

Cussrc nNn Sxtrlsr:at, De

and low resistance were vital, adding that these reduced 

tyre wear and lowered construction costs. 

The basis for these comparisons was a Keitel with 

frontal area (F) of t4sq ft which would give him a C6 

value of 0.16, in accordance with Jaray's formula. 

Against this he matched a conventional car of I 545lbs 

and F of l8.3sq ft which gave it a C6 of0.33, and a 

Jaray-type streamliner, also weighing l545lbs but 

offering the ideal C,1 of0.12. Run up the gradient at a 

steady 28mph in-top, the normal car required 

l5.2hp, the streamliner 13.7, but the Keitel only 

needed I lhp at l880rpm. 

Jaray replied in der Motontsagen only ten days later, 

suggesting he had a pre-publication copy of Keitel's 

article, and pointed out his formula was tricky to 

apply to average speed tests and besides, cars which 

go uphill come down again and weight helps there. 

Jaray also huffed that Keitel's shape couldn't have 

a C,1 value any better than 0.26 to 0.30 in light of 

Jarfr's experience. Drag could only be properly 

reduced with wheels inside the bodywork and 

springs enclosed. 'When that was done they could 

discuss real-world weights. 

Ve cannot tell today if scoffing from such an 

authority ended support for the 32-year-old Keitel, 

or whether his emphasis on lightness and 

slipperiness over a minimum of performance 

doomed the proiect anyway. ltr(e do know his original 

backer, a gentleman named Hagelauer, paid for 

construction of the prototypes in 0.8/l.0mm, deepdrawn 

steel with wheel forces fed to the axle by arms 

to relieve the shell. This was built by a master 

tinsmith named Heinkel, in the village of 

Grundbach,/Remstal. 

The open three-seater with cooling slits in its 

airship nose, flowed-in lights but rather protruding 

wings, was certainly used on the road and a closed 

version, or at least a top section, was built as well. 

Neither car survived, nor did the name of their 

designer in automotive history although some recall 

that the young Dornier engineer drove a "black, 

cigar-shaped vehicle" around Friedrichshafen in the 

late twenties. 

However, the man and his car are certainly worth 

remembering when discussing the "modern" art of 

streamlining. \1-.-.7

The record-breaker as ir was in 1921 . J oyce is behind the wheel while mechanic Malhin stands in front of it 

o o 

Almost exactly 60 years agolohnloyce became the first man 

to cover 100 miles in an hour in a light car.Iohn Mclellan tells how 

It's been quite a year for 60th anniversaries, with 

Bentley drivers celebrating that Team Award in the 

Isle of Man TT, Austin Sevens scuttling down to 

Longbridge to mark their debut and even the BBC 

recalling six decades of steam radio this autumn. 

Another anniversary worth recalling is John Joyce's 

feat of covering more than 100 miles an hour in a 

l500cc AC light car. He did it at Brooklands on the 

last Friday in November 1922. 

The thing was done in true Boys' Own Paper cliff' 

hanging style. The AC marque, headed by S.F. Edge 

and based at Thames Ditton, not far from 

Brooklands, made full use of the track both as test 

facility and for breaking records. Joyce had driven 

the company's fastest car, a rather scientifically 

designed streamliner, over the measured mile at 

more than lOOmph in June 1921, but enough 

reliability to allow him to keep going for a whole hour 

at the same pace was not easily found. 

Throughout 1922Edge, his designer John rWeller 

and Joyce struggled against setbacks which would 

have stopped lesser men. Although the four-cylinder 

overhead camshaft engine was of advanced design, 

the crankshaft had only two main bearings and that 

summer Joyce twice had crankshafts fail at over 

IOOmph on the track. 

The tyres were too primitive and held to the wheel 

rims with security bolts. "A burst tyre," recalled 

Joyce, "meant that it left the wheel at all points except 

by the rim. The result was usually that the tyre formed

itselfinto a figure ofeight and pounded the track with 

such violence that it was only by a superhuman effort 

that the steering was not taken out of the driver's 

hands with his inevitable disappearance over the top 

ofthe banking. " 

Timewasrunningout 

In October enough stamina was found to permit a 

complete Brooklands lap to be run at over l30mph. 

But time was running out, for the track was due to 

close for the winter at the end of November for 

much-needed repairs to the concrete ... and there 

were rumours of strong opposition in 1923. 

Seven times Joyce went out for an attempt on the 

hour record and was thwarted by mechanical failures 

or burst tyres. During the last week of November 

another engine was frenziedly built up and by the

The nanow rear end - note the extent of dilling for lightness ! 

Friday morning all was ready. Last minute testing 

occupied the morning and then on the afternoon of a 

fairly cool and windless day, Joyce went out for his 

last-ditch, do or die effort. 

Everything went perfectly. Joyce covered l0l 

miles and 696 yards in the 6() minutes to average 

l0l.39mph and assured both AC and himself of a 

permanent niche in motoring history. 

The car was originally commissioned by Harry 

Hawker, the aviator and racing driver, who wanted a 

proiectile as slender as an aircraft fuselage and 

carefully streamlined. John Weller responded by 

building a narrow chassis in which only the ends of 

slender axles protruded from the body shell. 

Although the rear axle was narrower than the front to 

give the thing a pronounced crab-track, the wheels 

were inclined to be wayward and quite apart from its 

tendency to bang the long tail on the concrete as it shot 

down the banking onto the straights at Brooklands, 

the racer was erratic in its course. Joyce was a brave 

man indeed. 

The AC people had let it be known they were 

building a l500cc high quality overhead camshaft 

six-cylinder engine as long ago as l9 l9 and the record 

breaker's unit was closely relat.ed to that one. In the 

race against time to find enough power and reliability 

to last the hour, it was much modilied and in its final 

l6-valve, 55bhp form it could hold 4500 to 5000rpm 

for long periods, aremarkableachievement for 1922. 

During l92t Veller had built a similar series of 

cars for the 200 Miles race, held at Motor Show time 

in October and this engine found its way into one of 

these chassis in due course. Joyce raced and sprinted 

with it until about 1925, lightening and developing 

the outfit until it gave some 77bhp and weighed no 

more than gcwt 7lb. Vhen the worsening fortunes of 

the Edge management at AC led to abandoning the 

racing programme, the car went into store and later 

was sold to Eked at Blackpool, who raced it on sand 

until the mid-thirties. It crashed after a front axle 

failure, was rebuilt and never used again. It survived 

in store without substantial alteration and in recent 

years has been tended by Denis Jenkinson on behalf 

of Robby Hewitt. 

During a restoration strip Jenks found little 

wrong, but the l6-valve bronze head - not the cast 

iron one used for the hour record but one thought to 

have been used in the 200 Miles race - is excessively 

porous. 

And what of Joyce? He went on to found Pass and 

Joyce, a Portland Street motor emporium later 

absorbed by Henlys.

Gar 

Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to make the ultimate in 

road machinery. Mike Mccarthy enjoys one of his attempts 

No Lamborghini has ever won a race of any 

consequence. Yet the cars bearing the badge of the 

rampant bull have an image that places them firmly 

in the supercar class, alongside such famous 

marques with a racing heritage as Ferrari, 

Maserati, Porsche, Jaguar and Aston Martin. 

The cars are named after Caaaliere Ferruccio 

Lamborghini. He was born the son of a peasant 

farmer, with a natural mechanical aptitude. During 

the war he was imprisoned on the island of 

Rhodes, where he earned a reputation for being 

able to make recalcitrant machinery work, and to 

cobble up all sorts of things out of lunk. 

Surplus armoured cars 

After his demobilisation, the story goes, he was 

on his honeymoon when he came across some 

surplus armoured cars. At the time, there was a 

grave shonage of agricultural machinery in ltaly, 

and he had a brainwave. He would remove all the 

arnour plating and convert the armoured cars into 

tractors. He cut short his honeymoon, hocked 

himself to the eyeballs, and, using his mechanical 

know-how and peasant shrewdness, very soon had 

a growing tractor business. It wasn'I all that long 

before he was quite rich. 

So he branched out into the ventilation and 

central heating business, and became very rich! 

Naturally, he now drove expensive cars. But his 

interest in them was not just because he could 

afford them. In fact, soon after the war, he had 

opened a small tuning establishment for making 

Fiats go faster, and even entered a modified 

Topolino in the Mille Miglia, but unfortunately 

crashed. He was a true enthusiast. 

The history of the motor car is littered with 

myths: one of the classics, most often misquoted, 

concerned a President of General Motors who was 

reported as saying that "Vhat was good for 

General Motors was good for America". In fact, he 

said exactly the opposite. The myth about 

Ferruccio Lamborghini was that Enzo Ferrari kept 

him waiting for half an hour or so: this upset 

Lamborghini so much that he stormed off, 

determined to make 'a better Ferrari.'

The truth seems to be rather more prosaic. He 

simply wanted to make a car bearing his name. But 

the grain of truth to the myth is that he did own 

Ferraris, and other exotica, but didn't like - or 

wasn't prepared to accept - the fact that such cars 

need attention. Often, and expensively. He loved 

the performance and glamour, but couldn't accept 

the unreliability, the sheer finickiness, of keeping 

them on the road. He summed up his feelings 

exactly in a quote from the American magazine 

Road and Track: "ln the past I have bought some 

of the most famous gran turismo cars and in each 

of these magnificent machines I have found some 

faults. Too hot, or uncomfortable, or not 

sufficiently fast, or not perfectly finished. Now I 

want to make a GT car without faults. Not a 

technical bomb. Very normal, very conventional, 

but a perfect car." Such was the dream, at least. 

The competition in the early sixties, when he 

decided to become a car manufacturer in the GT 

field, was quite strong. At the top, of course, there 

was Ferrari. There was also Maserati, Jaguar (with

the E-type) and Aston Martin (with the DB series). 

Digressing for a moment, there are some 

remarkable parallels between the Newport Pagnell 

company and Lamborghini. Heading both were 

industrialists whose major products were tractors. 

Both car companies, therefore, were something of a 

sideline, an indulgence by their owners. Both made 

GT cars. Both made their own engines instead of 

plumping for the ubiquitous American V8. Both 

employed some of the great names in the motor 

engineering world. And, alas, both have had more 

than their share of financial ups and downs. Yet 

both survive. 

David Brown had W.O. Bentley to design his 

engine, and, for a dme, Eberan von Eberhorst as 

chassis engineer. Ferruccio Lamborghini was lucky 

when he set out to find the ri.ght people to design, 

develop and build his 'perfect car'. There had been 

a massive 'palace revolt' at Ferrari, and a number 

of Enzo's most talented people had walked out. 

Anewengine 

One such was Giotto Bizzarrint, who had been 

partially responsible for the classic 250GTO. He 

went freelance, and designed a lVz-litue Vl2 for the 

then-current Formula l. Lamborghini put him 

under contract to design a 3.5-litre Vl2, with twin 

overhead camshafts per bank - two up, as it were, 

on Ferrari's single ohc per bank engines. 

Lamborghini also gathered around him a 

talented set of youngsters. I'here was 24-year-old 

Giampaolo Dallara, who had spent time at Ferrari 

under Forghieri and at Maserati under Alfieri - his 

credentials were impeccable. He was backed up by 

Paolo Stanzini, a 25-year-old. A former racing 

mechanic, and another who was only 25, New 

Zealander Bob !flallace was in charge of road 

testing and development. 

The original unit was a 60 degree V12, of 

3497cc. It featured six twin-choke down-draught 

Webers feeding the cylinders between the 

camshafts rather than sited within the Vee. There 

was dry-sump lubrication, wild cam timing, and 

other details that meant the engine gave plenty of 

power (360bhp (DIN) at 8000rpm) but was much 

too racing-orientated for a tractable road machine. 

Nevertheless Lamborghini wanted a car to 

display at the Turin Show in late 1963. A chassis 

made from both square and rectangular tubes was 

hastily built. Many proprietErry components, such 

as a ZF gearbox and Salisbury differential were 

used. Suspension was by unequal length wishbones, 

coil springs and anti-roll bar at each end. 

Clothing all these mechanicals was a body styled 

by Franco Scaglione, who had been with Bertone 

until 1959. It was strictly a two-seater. And the 

shape was controversial. 

The nose featured a combined grille-cumbumper, 

and pop-up headlights. It had been built 

by a tiny Turin firm, Carrozzeria Sargiotto, and 

the finish was anything but brilliant. The initial 

impressions of both press and public alike was one 

of interest, tinged with scepticism.

Some of the early reports on the new 

Lamborghini company hinted at possible 

competition activities, but Ferruccio Lamborghini 

resisted this. 

After the euphoria of the show, Dallara set about 

'productionising' the engine and car. Horizontal 

carbs replaced the downdraught units, it reverted 

to wet-sump lubrication, timing was softened, all 

with increased benefits to flexibilty and 

tractability. Touring of Milan were brought in to 

clean up the shape, which they did by deleting 

assorted vents and chrome strips, and simplifying 

the nose, particularly replacing the pop-up 

headlights with oval Cibies, their 'pods' flowing 

smoothly back over the bonnet. 

A new factory at Sant'Agata 

Lamborghini had bought a site in 1962 between 

Bologna and Modena at a place called Sant' Agata. 

On this he constructed a 500,000 sq ft factory in 

which to make 500 cars per annum. In March 1964 

the definitive 350GT was shown at Geneva. But by 

the end of the year, the huge factory had produced a 

mere l3 cars. 

When journalists began to get their hands on the 

350GT superlatives flowed. Car magazine 

headlined their story 'This one will give Ferrari 

migraine!' Car and Drit;er reported that it would 

reach the tachometer red line in fifth, which meant 

a top speed of l56mph. They also recorded a 

0-60mph time of 6.4sec - and a fuel consumption 

in the l2-l4mpg bracket. Sports Car Graphic 

recorded a top speed, the average of a two-way 

run, at 'over l50mph', and Autocar clocked a 

genuine l58.2mph 'with speed still rising'. Things 

looked promising. 

Almost to a man those who drove and wrote 

about the car also commented on its refinement, 

smoothness, and lack of engine and wind noise. It 

was agreed that handling and roadholding matched 

the performance - young Bob \flallace had done his 

homework well. 

It is all the more interesting, therefore, to quote 

Bob's own words as recorded by Rob de la Rive 

Box and Richard Crump in their excellent book 

Lamborghini - the cars from Sant' Agata Bolognese. 

'Ve had a lack of experience in the specific fields 

we were in, all of us being very young at the time 

. . . the 350GT I regard personally as probably the 

best car we ever built as a whole . . . it was far 

ahead of any competitive car as far as performance 

and handling went .'. But a little later he 

comments: 'I must unfortunately blame a big 

percentage of the motoring press for not being as 

critical of us as they should have been, back then.' 

Just 67 350GTs were produced in 1965 - way off 

the 500 cars a year target for the Sant'Agata plant 

- but during that year the work began on turning 

the 350GT, in theory a three-seater but really only 

suitable for two, into a 2+2. Touring modilied the 

body in the wrong way - they incorporated 

t: 

IEn 

expensive, all-new panels but retained the general 

lines of the 350GT. The only instant recognition 

points of the 400GT compared to the 350GT was 

the use of four round Hella headlights replacing 

the oval Cibies. Look more closely and you'll see a 

slightly different boot lid and rear window, but 

you'll barely notice the slightly higher roof line. 

400GT? Yes - to go with the 'new' model was an 

increase in engine capacity, to 3929cc, via a 5mm 

larger bore. Power went up from 270bhp at 

6500rpm to 320bhp at the same speed. 

Independent tests of the 400GT are rare, but the 

extra horsepower seems to have been offset a little 

by added weight. Autocar recorded a 0-60mph time 

of 7.0sec, but no top speed: Paul Frdre managed a 

marginally better 6.6sec to 60mph, and estimated 

the top speed at a 'conservative guess of l55mph'. 

By the end of 1966, 49 350GTs had been built, 

23 'interim' models (350GTs with 400GT engines), 

and no fewer than 97 of the ,100GT itself. That 

year, however, had seen the appearance of the 

amazing mid-engined Miura, and the front-engined 

machines were eclipsed at a stroke. Nevertheless, 

147 400GTs (and the last four 350GTs) were 

produced ln 1967, the best-ever year for this 

model. It was phased out in 1968, its place taken 

by two new models, the Espada and the Islero, the 

latter the true successor to the 350GT/400GT 

models since it was basically a 400GT with a new 

set of rather sombre, simple body lines. 

The car we drove and photographed is a 1967 

400GT, courtesy of Langland Motor Co Ltd, 

Lexham Mews, London W8, and is for sale for 

CI1,000. It has had one owner, Kenneth Smith, for 

the last five years, and is in good-to-immaculate 

condition. It may now be immaculate, for at the 

time of testing there were a number of minor 

points to put right (it pulled to the left on gentle 

braking, for example). 

The first thing that has to be said is that it is an 

instant eye-turner. And the first question that 

passers-by ask isn't the usual 'Wot'll she do?' but 

'Wotisit?'. The only clue to its identification is the 

Lamborghini badge on the nose! Talk about hiding 

your light under a bushel . . . 

Look around the interior and you notice the 

alloy-spoked, wood-rimmed steering wheel, the 

large speedo and tacho in front of you, with 

beautifully clear white-on-black dials, and the 

multitude of gauges, warning lights and switches 

on the centre console. 

The worst feature of the car comes when you 

first try to drive it away. The clutch is not too 

heavy, but, frankly, the gearchange in the lower 

two gears is horrid, baulky and notchy. Matters 

improve when the 'box is warm, but the 

awkwardness never really disappears. In the upper 

three gears, though, the change is reasonably light 

and acceptable. 

Acclimatisation doesn't take very long, however, 

and after a while it stops being an irritant, iust 

something you're aware of and take into account. 

The performance really is outstanding. In traffic, 

the engine idles smoothly and quietly, murmuring 

away to itself under the bonnet. Give it a bit of 

throttle and it takes on a more purposeful note, in 

that fussy way that Vl2s do. It pulls cleanly but 

not very strongly at low revs. It is totally 

undramatic in traffic - apart from a propensity for 

the temperature gauge to rise, but then most cars 

over ten years old tend to do that - and you can 

waffle along at a steady 1000-l500rpm without 

snatch, jerkiness or hiccuping. 

But show it a bit of open road and quite a lot of 

throttle and it takes on a whole new character. 

From about 4000rpm on the note changes to a 

gorgeous, exhilarating howl that has driver and 

passenger alike grinning. The Lambo's Vl2 is like 

no other we've sat behind (or in front ol). It 

doesn't have the utter quietness of a Jaguar Vl2 

(what would those testers years ago have thought of 

the whispering smoothness of an XJS?) nor the 

crisp crackle of a Ferrari. It sounds quite 

distinctive, and quite beautiful. 

rVithout driving it at ten tenths, we found the 

handling coped more than adequately with the 

performance. The steering is light and direct, with 

no slop or lost motion, and - with independent rear 

suspension and a limited slip differential - it puts 

the power down remarkably well. For example, 

you could enter a slow corner on a trailing throttle, 

drop down into second, and then power out using a 

lot of throttle: the slight initial understeer changes 

into a nice, clean, controllable neutrality, and the 

next thing you know you're zooming off into 

middle distance at speeds that, apart from being 

probably illegal, are higher than you think. 

Apart from the tendency of the brakes to pull to 

one side, on hard stops they seem capable. 

All round visibility excellent 

One of the nice things about the 400GT is that it 

is very comfortable inside. There is no ltalian-ape 

driving position, all controls are well sited, and it 

accommodated 6ft plus of Editor and 5ft 8in (or so) 

of Editor at Large with ease. Visibility all round is 

excellent, and it doesn't feel like a big car, unlike, 

say, the XJS or Aston Martin of today. That 

feeling of well-being is matched by an excellent 

quality. 

All in all, the 400GT is an exciting, exhilarating 

car to drive, that does what it looks like it should 

do. Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to make a GT 

car 'without faults, a perfect car'. In this he may 

not have succeeded, but it took Jaguar some years 

to come up with the XJS, the sort of car he wanted. 

Truly, the 350GT and 400GT Lamborghinis 

were cars ahead of their time. The Miura and 

Countach may have over-shadowed them in sheer 

image, but it was these models that first made 

Lamborghini a marque of high desirability. In that 

alone, they deserve a niche in history. A

This 414 may be X-registered but to all intents and purposes it's pure 1935 in character. I t's also cheaper to buy and more economical to run than its larger Plus Eight brother 

Malvern lonrG 

o 

If your finances can't quite stretch to nurning a Plus Eight Morgan, then the Ford-powered 1600 4/4 

must surely be the next best thing. Peter Nunn discovers the secrets of motoring the Morgan way 

There can be no other car in the world quite like a 

Morgan. On one side it has the reputation for being 

the last 'proper' sports car in the truest sense of the 

term, and yet viewed dispassionately it's an archaic 

bone-shaker, an expensive anachronism that would 

amaze any self-respecting modern car maker. 

Paradoxically, it is these latter shortcomings that, to 

some extent, reinforce the marque's enduring 

popularity and cult appeal. 

Visually, it's all there. Combine the long, louvred 

bonnet, flowing wings, cut-down doors, sidescreens, 

tail-mounted spare, bonnet strap and aeroscreens 

(these last two items are, admitedly, optional extras) 

with a respectable turn of speed, notoriously hard 

ride and 'vintage' driving position, and you're 

beginning to get some idea of what the car's all about. 

Then there's the company's ancestry, which 

stretches back as far as 1910, competition heritage 

and sporting image to consider. The character and 

technical outline of the first four-wheeled Morgan 

(the prototype was created in 1935, with producrion 

cars following the nexr year) broadly matches that of 

the cars being built in penny numbers at the Malvern 

50 

factory in 1982. This means that, in this nostalgiaconscious 

age of hideous glass-fibre Replicas, the 

Pickersleigh Road machines, while hardly 

innovative, certainly have time, not to mention 

tradition, on their side. 

Timelessformula 

The four-wheel Morgan story is a fairly simple one 

in that the basic formula hasn't changed at all within 

the last 40-odd years. There was one famous break 

with tradition between 1963/1966 when the factory 

introduced a closed coup€ model to the range ('the 

car that terrified 10,000 Morgan owners' as it was 

once described), but this theme was dropped 

discretely after only 26 cars had been built. Today, 

these coup6s are prized collectors'items. Rightly or 

wrongly, Morgan has never made any significant 

attempt to modernise its 'classic' sports car nor 

update its laborious method ofconstruction although 

with the recent demise of MG and Triumph's TR 

series (with, of course, Austin Healey and other 

revered names) in mind the factory's reluctance to 

change is, perhaps, understandable. 

The story behind the many four-wheel Morgans 

manufactured since 1936, though, does become 

complicated when the talk turns to Plus Fours, Plus 

Eights, 4/4s (there are six separate types of this one 

alone), flat rads, curved rads, drophead coup6s, fourseaters 

and so on. Any Morgan enthusiast worth his 

salt should have the details of these engraven on his 

heart but if you're a Morgan novice, how best to pick 

your way through the maze, bearing in mind most 

Morgans look pretty much the same? Answer: take a 

quick look at the model table which appears on page 

53, and then read on. 

Vhen the idea of the'Profile'was hrst mooted, the 

subiect matter seemed simple. A piece on fourcylinder 

Morgans made since the Var. Much has 

been written in magazines and books concerning the 

hairy Plus Eight, the Rover V8-powered Moggie 

introduced in 1968, but little on the cheaper 4/4 

models. Despite its age-old under-skin configuration 

(engine apart), the Plus Eight really is a latter-day 

Super Car; traditional Morgan looks, rubberscorching 

performance and exhilarating open-air 

motoring, are just some of the Plus Eight's endearing 

Classrc,quoSponrsc,rn,Drcrumn 1982

strong suits. But sadly, Plus Eights cost a lot of 

money to buy and run - for sure, OPEC is no great 

ally of this big-hearted road burner. A sensible 

compromise, then, is to run one of the smallerengined 

cars offered by the factory. But which one to 

choose? 

As a general rule, Morgans tend to be bought by 

two types of customer. The archetypal dyed-in-thewool 

enthusiast, who will insist on driving with the 

hood down in all weathers as a marter of principle - 

and the less committed individual who finds the 

powerful image the marque creates a strong 

attraction. A Morgan, don't forget, is the genuine 

article, often imitated, never quite equalled. It's 

instant thirties nostalgia available new in the 

seventies and eighties. The traditional enthusiast's 

car will be regularly exercised in competition; it may 

be a Plus Eight or perhaps a TR-engined Plus Four. 

In any event it willgo. A4l4 1600, the sublect ofthis 

'Profile', may not match the performance of these 

Morgan favourites but it's definitely no slouch. It 

possesses qualities which appeal to both the 

hardened enthusiast and Sunday driver. 

/Y4 1600 a practical choice 

From a practical point of view, the 414 1600 

(produced between 1968-1982 after the Plus Four 

was dropped) must emerge as an appealing 

candidate. A Plus Four Super Sports is, for many 

Morgan drivers, rhe ultimate but many of those (in 

company with a large percentage of sixties Morgans) 

were destined for the United States. In fact Plus 

Fours in general seldom seem to change hands 

nowadays and when they do, the sums of money 

involved tend to be somewhat frightening. A 

seventies 414 1600, on rhe orher hand, is a far more 

realistic proposition. In the first instance, ir was 

produced in far greater numbers than any other 

Morgan, and that includes the Plus Eight; there 

should, therefore, be plenty around still in good 

condition (having had less time ro rot!). Secondly, 

the power train used was raken straighr from the 

Ford Conina so spares and servicing are no problem, 

even for the home d-i-y mechanic. Thirdly, it's 

economical; 30/35mpg or even more is easily within 

reach whereas the thirsty Plus Eight will struggle to 

better 20mpg. And lastly, it's cheap to insure - 

Group 5 in place of the Plus Eight's more worrying 

Group 7. 

A 4/4 has one further advantage, still. It's a 

Morgan. This may sound like an obvious remark but 

the fact that the car was hand-built over some 90 days 

in the factory where all Morgans have been built is 

significant. The lengthy gestation period has 

traditionally (that word again . . .) meant the waiting 

list for a new one is measured in years as opposed to 

months and this, in turn, has led to an abnormallyhigh 

resale price structure as demand is always so 

high. Thus 4l4s - or any Morgans come to that - 

don't depreciate nearly as fast as their rivals although 

whether the cars are holding their own or falling 

slightly with inflation, in real money terms, is open ro 

debate. \(hatever the true picture a 4/4 1600 must 

be, in reality, one ofthe world's cheapes, sports cars; 

it holds its value seemingly against all odds (almost 

indecently one might say) and is comparatively 

inexpensive to run and insure. Possibly your biggest 

headache will be Iinding one that suits your needs or 

maybe raising the necessary cash . . 

So far we haven't mentioned where the 414 1600 

Iits in the overall Morgan picture. The lirst 4/4 model 

of 1936 was also the first four-wheel Morgan to go 

into production, but with the introduction of the 

lusty Plus Four in I950 the 4/4 disappeared 

temporarily, only to be re-introduced five years later 

at the Earls Court Show as a down-market 

complementary model to the new 2-litre car. The 

production 4/4 ofthe late thirties used a four-cylinder 

Coventry-Climax engine of I l22cc capacity mated to 

a Meadows gearbox, although following hostilities a 

l267cc Standard unit and Moss 'box were 

substituted. From late '55 when the 4/4 reappeared 

on the scene, Morgan adopted, in succession, a 

number of Ford engine/transmission units to power 

rhe 414, culminating in the l599cc Ford 'Kent' 

pushrod engine in January 1968. Morgan still make a

The outline of rhe 414 1600, however, follows the 

time-honoured Morgan pattern of manufacture. A 

separate, steel chassis (underslung at the rear) with 

characteristic Z-shaped side sections supports an ash 

frame and attractive steel body. Aluminium panels 

are used on some cars as an option although the

front with drums at the back; dual circuits came in 

during October l97I although you won't find a servo 

in standard trim. A Salisbury live axle appears at the 

rear. 

The early 4/4s adopted a similar transmission layout 

to the Plus Four in that engine and gearbox were 

separated by a stout tube. Not all 4/4s benefited from 

this arrangement, however, which prompted Morgan 

to specify a remote control slide-and-pull set-up to the 

gearchange mechanism. This enabled 'changes to be 

made in a more civilised fashion without the need to 

lean right forward to reach the lever. As far as the 4/4 

1600 is concerned the engine and four-speed gearbox 

are as one, with the gear lever positioned sufficiently 

far back to prevent the need for a transmission tube or 

push,/pull adaptation. The Ford engine should need 

no introduction. At the end of the sixties, though, 

Morgan were using both the 'ordinary' and GT 

versions of the newly-introduced Ford cross-flow 

engine in the 4/4 1600 and 414 1600 Competition 

models respectively. History records that the 

'ordinary' engine gave way to the GT unit during 

November '70 because enthusiasrs who chose the 

Competition model (after all, who wants an 'ordinary' 

Morgan?) were experiencing trouble with their 

insurance companies - it was the 'Competition' name 

that was worrying brokers. So Morgan decided to 

drop the less popular model of the two and the 

'Competition' part as well. Result: the 4/4 1600 with 

the GT engine soldiered on until the arrival ofthe new 

Ford and Fiat enginesat the start ofthis year. 

Cramped driving position 

4i4 1600s were produced in two basic styles - as a 

straightforward two-seater sports model or as a fourseater 

with a pat of extra seats overhanging the rear 

ax-le. From an aesthetic point of view, the four-seater 

is not the happiest of compromises. Entry via the 

back ofthe fronl seats (which slide forward) has to be 

experienced to be believed and once you're there, 

headroom is, shall we say, limited with the hood up. 

Luggage space is simply non-existent. Still, for the 

family man with two small children a 4/4 four-seater 

does makes sense. 

Out on the road.,a414 holds few surprises. It goes 

like it looks. Even before you move off, the cramped 

driving position (necessitating bent elbows for the 

steering wheel is, in true 'vintage' fashion, very close 

to your chest) becomes apparent. Then there's the 

long reach forward under the dash for the gear lever 

and fly-off handbrake. The view down the long 

bonnet is mightily impressive but, alas, the woolly 

steering, and terrible lock, soon begin to irritate. 

Drive a representative model and you'll find the 

Kent engine pulls well from virtually any point in the 

rev range; it really is an excellent unit with few vices. 

It could do with a few decibles of V8 burble, however! 

Gearchanges are generally clean, commendable and 

precrse. 

And so to the ride. On properly macadamed roads, 

it's not nearly as bad as popular opinion would have 

you believe. True, the feel is decidedly firm - thus 

causing the front wings to bob rhythmically up an 

down as the car goes along but surely this is part of 

the car's overall character? It's only when driving 

over less-than-smooth surfaces that the seat belts are 

needed to prevent you from being bounced straight 

out ofthe car. Once the steering technique has been 

mastered - and pushing the seats back doesn't help a 

great deal here - the 414 can be hurled about with 

some degree of confidence for its handling and 

roadholding are fun to exploit. 

On the race track, the Morgan four-wheeler has a 

fine competition record as befits such a sports 

orientated machine. Arguably the highlight of the 

marque's race career occurred back in 1962 when 

Chris Lawrence and fuchard Shepherd-Barron took 

their famous Plus Four, TOK 258, to an excellent 

class win at Le Mans, finishing l3th overall. On the 

4/4 front Chris Alford re-wrote some headlines 

during 1975 by winning all 15 rounds of the BRSCC 

Prodsports Championship in his remarkably 

standard 4/4, RA 444. Morgans are still ultracompetitive, 

though, witness the startling times put 

up by Charles Morgan's Plus Eight, the annual 

Moggie race at BDC Silverstone in August and the

Two basic 4/4 models have been offered over the 

years - an open, two-seater tourer and a four-seater 

controversial result ofthis year's Snetterton 24 Hour 

Race. . 

How to sum up the pluses and minuses of a 

Morgan 4/4? One of the most widely-held norions is 

that the car could easily be improved technically 

without altering its character one iota. The 

traditionalists would undoubtedly complain long and 

hard and resist any changes, but really by now you 

would have thought the steering and suspension 

could be altered slightly to bring rhem into the 

eighties? A Morgan with slightly more forgiving 

steering would be a loy to behold . . . Vithout doubt, 

a 4/4 two-seater running on optional wire wheels, 

with the hood and sidescreens removed is a superb 

means of fun transport for a summer's day. It doesn't 

look as butch or as menacing as a Plus Eight but in 

our estimation, it really looks the part. Alternatively 

drive it on a cold winter's night with the hood up and 

it's a real claustrophobic misery. But isn't that what 

traditional sports cars, real sports cars, are all about? 

Productionhistory 

The four-wheel Morgan story starts with a prototype 

car in 1935, production beginning the following year 

and continuing, ofcourse, to this day. [p until 1954, 

the characteristic flat radiator was fitted but to the 

utter dismay, shock and horror of Morgan 

traditionalists, this gave way to the current curvedstyle 

grille during that year.

with the same essential configuration. In his 

excellent book on the subject, The Four-tYheeled 

Morgan, Ken Hill records that one 4/4 drophead 

coup6 (with full-width doors) was constructed by 

Morgan to Series 2 specification but this is thought to 

be a unique car . The 414 I 600, introduced in January 

1968, succeeded four different 4/4 models, each one 

slightly more powerful than the last. ft was initially 

offered in two forms - as a two-seat tourer with 

'standard' l600cc Cortina engine fitted, or as a 

Competition version powered by the slightly more 

potent Cortina GT motor. The Competition boasted 

a twin choke carburettor, a wilder camshaft profi le, an 

uprated compression ratio and pushed out 96bhp 

as opposed to 74bhp. Unfortunately this 4/4 

derivative (which echoed similar Competition 

versions ofthe Series II and V) did not go down too 

well with insurance companies - the 'Competition' 

tag was the problem - so with the introduction of the 

new breed of Ford OHC engines, Morgan decided to 

drop the engine altogether. From November 1970, 

then, both types of 4/4 (two-seater and four-seater) 

were fitted with the GT engine that, incidentally, 

also found a home under the bonnet of the 197 0-197 5 

Escort Mexico and early versions of the Capri I 600. 

4/4 specification changes are few and far between 

but can be summarised as follows. The facia was 

brought in line with that of the Plus Eight in October

1969 in that the rev counter was moved to the right of 

the steering wheel and rocker switches appearei on a 

central oval panel. A collapsible steering column was 

fitted in November 1970, the month in which the 

'standard' crossflow engine was dropped. A 

mechanically-operated clutch was also speiified. By 

the next Motor Show the braking had dual circuitj, 

the facia more padding and the tail lights extended 

backwards instead of being flush-fitting. May ,73 

saw an improved fresh air heater introduced to the 

range, with new windscreen demisting vents 

following in November '74. An aluminium-body 

option was offered from early'77 and another facia 

update arrived in the middle oirhar ycar. 

Ford CVH and Fiat twin cam 4/4s became 

available from January 1982 which meanr rhar, 

officially, the pushrod Ford 1600 was superseded in 

December 1981. In reality, however, the final car left 

the Malvern works in March 1982. A total of 3513 4t4 

1600 Morgans were produced by the factory between 

1969and 1982. 

Federalised inteior of a late-model4l4 two-seater 

Rivalswhennew 

The Morgan 4/4 1600 doesn't really have a rival as far 

as tradition, looks and cult appeal are concerned. 

Perhaps lhe car which comes closest is Colin 

Chapman's stark Lotus Seven, manufacture of which 

was taken over by Caterham Cars in 1973. On the 

performance and handling fronts, the Lotus wins 

hands down bur the Morgan makes up for these 

dellciencies by being slightly (?) more pracrical and 

economical. A Morgan, any Morgan, will also be 

worth much more rhan a Seven which has a similar, 

though less fanatical, following in comparison to the 

Morgan. 

As far as prices are concerned (always a touchy 

subject when buying a Morgan), the two cars werL 

evenly matched when new; ar the close of '81 a 

Caterham Seven and 4/4 1600 two-seater were within 

a few hundred pounds of each other but there the 

similarity ends. The Lotus, exciting four-wheel 

motorbike though it may be, doesn't even begin to 

\r 

compete with the 4/4's five/eight-year waiting list, 

Sunday Inlmes buyer's premiums and all that thi two 

entail. This may or may nor be a good thing, 

depending on your viewpoint. 

The origins of the 4i4 lie as far back as rhe thirries. 

Panther tried unsuccessfully to emulate the magic 

Morgan formula with the ghastly Lima but iire 

proiect didn't quite come off. Run-of-the-mill sports 

rag tops (TR5, TR6 and TR7 rogerher with rhe 

MGB) ran the 4/4 quite close on a number of counts 

and provided dramatic wind-in-the-hair motoring 

for the masses - but could they match Morgant 

charisma? We think not. Civilised, up-marker openair 

competition, meanwhile, was provided by Alfa 

Romeo's- 1750 and 2000 Spiders and, to some degree, 

by the Lotus Elan Sprint and Jensen Healev.-The 

TVR Taimar convertible (although a full i-litre) 

might be yet another choice. 

Clubs, specialists and books 

Last year, the Morgan Sports Car Club - the 

extrovert organisation that caters for all four-wheel 

Morgans, celebrated its thirtieth birthday. Of all the 

one-make clubs in existence today, the MSCC must 

surely be one of the most light-hearted and informal. 

For evidence of this last sralement, just run down the 

list oflocal club branches (there are 27 ofthem in the 

UK and three overseas). We particularly like, for 

example, the official nicknames of the Barrow-in- 

Furness, Brighton, Bristol, London, Reading and 

South Coast centres; in order, they read FurMog, 

SmogMog, GrogMog and SogMog ! 

The heart of the club's activiries revolves around 

the monthly magazine Miscellany which is always 

crammed full of centre news, race reports and 

tempting advertisements for Morgan maniacs. The

slightly tricky nowadays but ifyou have difficuhies. 

write to Colin Musgrove at the above addrcss. 

Musgrove has also penned the 198011981 Morgan 

Yearbooh (the only one so far). Ken Hill's two books 

on four-wheel Morgans are both a must for any selfrespecting 

owner but only the second volume, ?"fre 

FourlVheel MorganVolume 2is relevant to our story. 

Morgan The First and Last of the Real Sports Cars 

by Geoffrey Bowden is a delightful history of the 

company's exploits. It's well illustrated and 

especially strong on the early years but, alas, only 

goes up to 1972. 

Other recommended titles include a trio of 

Brooklands Books Morgan Cars 1936-1960, 1960- 

1970, and, 1969-1979, and Morgans in the Colonies by 

John. Sheally. Postwar MG t, Morgan (in thi 

Survivors series) by John Blakemore and Henry 

Rasmussen is essenrially a coffee table book. Finally, 

the Morgan Sports Car Club produced their own 

booklet two years ago to celebrate the company,s 

70th birthday. Entitled 19/0-1980 70 Yearc'of 

Morgan Motoring, it's full of interesting stories and 

illustrations.

Buyers spot check 

A few general points first. Try to buy rhe laresr, 

cleanest 414 you can afford unless you,rL planning a 

full restoration on a car you want to keep forevir. 

Most Morgans tend to need some form of rebuild 

after three or four years so one way to stave offa large 

restoration bill is to track down an original, lowmileage 

car that hasn't deteriorated too fai. From an 

economical point of view, the coaxing back to life of a 

'basket case' 414 1600 is not yet a viible proposition 

although ilorgans have always had that hippy knack 

of being infinitely rebuildable. Furthermoie ihev are 

seldom, if ever, written off by insurance compinies 

(too valuable) or srolen by vandals, as thev'ie too 

conspicuous. 

The traditional Morgan merhod of construction 

leads to several problems, notably in the paint 

department. The body flexes a grlat deal in the 

normal.course of duty and this induces cracking in 

vulnerable areas, particularly around the rear wfieel 

arches, headlamp and sidelight surrounds and along 

the bonnet centre strip. The front wing joints alsJ 

suffer in this way. The problem is exacerbated to a 

certain extent by the factory's habit of spraying the

- 

may find, for you 

example, that as you unbolt a front 

wing, the inner section won'r have been fully 

painted. 

rlflatch out for signs of bubbling and possible 

corrosion around the doors, bonnet, wings (front and 

rear) and the rear 3/+ panel between the door and 

wheel arch on either side. This last panel has been 

made from aluminium from '78 onwards but was a 

common rust trap on earlier cars. Note that on 

aluminium-bodied cars, the front cowl and scuttle 

are always steel. 

A simple way to check the rigidity of the ash body 

frame is to give the body a firm shakel A smalt degrel 

of movement is permissable but be extremely wary of 

any apparent slackness in the structure as a whole. If 

the frame does seem unwieldly, we'd advise leaving 

the car alone if the asking price is high since a full, 

professional repair job will not be cheap. A sagging 

frame on a soon-to-be rebuilt car, on the other [ind, 

is awkward but not too disastrous. 

Till-tale danger areas include the sill boards (these 

are partially exposed to the elements from new!) and 

the B post uprights. Unfortunately the sill frames are 

normally covered with trim and water-absorbent 

foam both of which make it difficult to check the 

wood properly. The only way is to look underneath 

and/or gently pull back the trim - not a pleasant task 

when the vendor is looking over your shoulder. 1z 

extremis, the door shut faces can also rot away. 

. If you have removed the interior trim itrs a good 

idea to check (as best as you can) the inner chissis 

members below the doors for rust damage. Chassis 

cracks occasionally originate around the engine 

mountings and the rear spring hangers on, we're 

told,'691'70 cars although it would seem prudenr ro 

check the chassis carefully on any Morgan. The 

bulkhead assembly and exhaust mounrings also 

merit close examination. 

Front suspension king pin bushes wear out in no 

time at all - between 9000 and 20,000 miles says one 

source, or if things go badly wrong within 3000, 

according to another expert! The engine one-shot 

lube system is partly to blame here, ipparently. A 

recognised way to lengthen the life ofthebushes'is to 

replace the supply pipe with a grease nipple - a 

s_ensible idea that maybe the factory should adopt? 

Vatch out, incidentally, for cracks around the ouier 

loints of the lower king pin mountings - we have seen 

examples that have broken away completely. 

The Ford engine and gearbox should not present 

any problems, being simple, robust and trouble-free. 

Ridiculous though it may seem, a measure of freeplay 

in the steering (as much as lin) is perfectly within 

limits . . . Inside, check that the seats and trim are in 

good condition as refurbishment of either is a 

specialist art. Ergo it won't be cheap. 

Prices 

I-ist 

prices for the first 4/4 1600s in early 1969 ranged 

from f877 for the basic rwo-seater to 1909 for Ihe 

tster Competition. The four-seater was priced at 

f948. At the close of manufacture in late t82 those 

prices has risen ro !6603 for rhe rwo-seater or f7350 

for the cumbersome four-seater. The Competition 

had long been dropped. 

So much for history. 

- 

The above figures were 

gleaned from contemporary motoring magazines but 

they tell you precious little about the 4/4,s 

performance on the new/used markets. Demand, of 

course, has far exceeded supply. Until quite recently 

a brand new car with only delivery mileage could bi 

sold by an unscrupulous individual the same dav for a 

handsome !1500 premium over list price. The 

situation is doubtless much the same todiy with the 

Ford and Fiat-powered 4/4s - so how doei the older 

4/4 shape up on the current used market? 

According to Chris Alford of John Britten Garages 

( a noted Morgan agent), even a worn-out/abused 

wreck of a car can be worth an indecent amount of 

money. The absolute bottom line, in his opinion, 

starts ar 13000 but don't expect too much at this 

figure except a car ready for an imminent rebuild. 

Sound examples without too much adrift range 

between t4000if6000 wirh late, low-mileage cars in 

A1 condition topping the f8000 mark. \:=7

Six races, two wins, one second, two thirds and an 

eighth. That, in broad terms, was my Lloyds & 

Scottish season in Ken Moore's Cooper-Climax. It 

does, of course, go a little deeper than that. Ve had 

our problems and we had our successes. But above all 

we enjoyed ourselves and that, in my book at least, is 

what it's alI about. 

The season began with a mixture of good and bad 

at Silverstone in April. Good, because the entry was 

huge and included the likes of Dickie Atwood in a 

BRM. Bad, because the 2.5-litre Cooper was plagued 

with gearbox problems and I had to use Ken's 2-litre 

example instead. It was a shame - it looked as if they 

were having a good scrap up at the front. The 

comparative lack of power and, in particular, torque 

left me gradually slipping back. That was the eighth 

place finish. It could only get better. 

Round 2 at Brands Hatch was just that. Now back 

in the 2.5-litre car, the record books show that rJfl. 

Green won at a canter from the Lotus l6s of Bruce 

Halford and Simon Phillips. It was, I recall, one of 

my easier wins . . . but it was perhaps ill-timed as 

after the race a great outcry wenl up demanding that 

rear-engined cars should be banned from the series. 

That's a load of nonsense, of course. 

My fondest memories are of the third round, back 

at Silverstone, where I enioyed my personal dice of 

the year with Alben Obrist. The dice was for second 

place as young Halford had the St John Horsfall 

round of the championship sewn up from the outset. 

I think it scared the life out ofObrist and he certainly 

learnt a great deal from the dice. I'm not trying come 

over as a big head, but Albert will agree that that was 

the first true dice he had ever been in. He didn't see it 

that way immediately after the race, though, saying 

that I spent the entire time baulking him. I quietly 

pointed out the errors ofhis ways . . . 

On reflection I think I probably taught him too 

much. Albert promptly went out and won the 

following round in his Dino at the British Grand Prix 

supporter. Yes, back at Brands - the Lloyds & 

Scottish championship suffers from something of a 

yo-yo effect between Brands and Silverstone. 

At the Grand Prix, gearbox trouble reared its head 

again, the Cooper stripping third gear. !flhat was 

annoying was that I was in the lead at the time when 

the'box started playing up. I was about to retire 

altogether when I found second and top, and I 

managed to soldier on to finish third. The 'box was 

always the weak point of the Cooper. 

Ve stayed at Brands for the fifth round at the 

August Bank Holiday meeting. And it poured down. 

This was another of my third places, and frankly I 

was lucky. John Harper won that in the Connaught 

but during my chase of the silver machine I had a

For the edification of those who may never have 

heard of it, or wondered what it was all about, the 

Pomeroy Trophy is not an event, it's an institution. 

The purpose behind it is to find out the best all-round 

touring car. The rules were drawn up by the late 

Lawrence Pomeroy Jr., the rotund, be-monocled, 

erudite Technical Editor of The Motor, and are 

fiendishly complicated. 

It takes into account such factors as a car's age, 

seating capacity, engine capacity, and a whole lot 

more - for all I know, the number of spokes on wire 

wheels may come into it. Entrants for the Trophy 

have to partake in a number of events, such as a 

sprint, a few laps of Silverstone, and so on. When all 

is over, slide rules are wielded to find the overall 

winner (those using pocket calculators are banished 

to their motor homes and the auxiliary power units 

turned off). 

The winner this year was a 1963 Reliant Sabre, 

registration number 876 HWD, driven by Robin 

Rew. It beat such machines as a Ferrari 250GT, 

Vauxhall 30/98s ('Pom' was a great believer in 

Vauxhalls, driving a Prince Henry with great aplomb 

and not a little speed), Bugattis, DB Aston Martins, 

Porsches, vintage Bentleys and so on. The 'Pom' 

is that sort of event. Amusingly enough, so 

convincing was Robin's win, that afterwards the 

organisers phoned him and asked whether, perhaps, 

his Sabre was turbo-charged. "I had great pleasure in 

telling them no!" 

Mind you, the Sabre is no ordinary machine. It 

was works built in 1963 when the heads of Reliant 

were a lively sports orientated bunch. It was intended 

for sprints and hillclimbs, to be driven by Tony 

Marsh and Bobby Parkes. It was more or less a 

replica of the works rally cars, with a tuned Ford 

Zephyr engine complete with Raymond Mays head, 

a lightened glass-fibre body shell, and a rally-type 

chassis. It also had grafted onto it in 1964 a special 

independent rear suspension with double wishbones 

and coil springs because ofcomplaints about a lack of 

adhesion, and a 4.55:l diff. In 1964 it chalked up 

four class wins, one second and five thirds in 1 I 

events, with Parkes taking the class record at Firle 

alongside a couple of E-types. 

Irack of civilised comforts 

Robin bought it in 1968 from Mike Duncan, a 

Morgan agent in Halesowen. It had previously been 

owned by Rob Marsland, the son of one of the 

suppliers of castings to Reliant, who had also owned 

648 GUE, one of the works rally cars. Robin 

cherished the idea at first ofusing it as a road car, but 

it quickly became evident that, with massive 

45DCOE Webers and a complete lack of civilised 

comforts, that wasn't really on. So he set about 

developing it for fun motoring and competition. The 

development is now, almost, complete. 

He soon found that, with those huge Webers on 

the 12 port alloy Mays head, even on a balanced 

bottom end, it was very much a sprint car. Circuits 

were another thing: 'l'd do about l% laps of 

Silverstone, then blow up under The Motorbrrdge. 

Regular as clockwork". 

Working on the inevitable shoestring, he steadily 

set about making the engine stand the power it would 

give. He put in new pistons (from a Volvo!), played 

around with the valve gear and cam timing, and 

strapped the main bearings. Eventually it was given a 

reliable 200bhp in circuit conditions. The last major 

change was to fit a twin plate AP clutch. 

He found it was well suited to classic sports car 

racing when it could be entered in the Cusson's 

Championship. "We used to have great battles with 

such machines as the DB4GT Astons, Brewster 

Righter's Cobra, and Bill Nicholson's BGT. It was all 

very safe and friendly, and for me very exciting. I 

used to trail the Astons, and then one year came up 

with a new cam profile which gave me another 

20bhp. Suddenly I was out ahead ofthem, and they 

bayed after me like a pack of wolves! But then a 

clutch of Lotus 23s, and Divas, and lightweight, 

Formula Atlantic-engined Elans came along, the fun 

went, and I bowed out. I now use the car for the 

occasional race, sprint, hillclimb - and, of course, the 

'Pom'.

and his fornidable Sabre on their aay n an ooeralloictory in thisyealsVSCC Pomerog Trophy meeting 

Reliant had replaced the original ZF 4-20 fourspeed 

box with a five-speed 5-20 unit (as fitted to the 

last of the Alvises, so spares from Red Triangle are 

no problem), and it's now fitted with a 3.58:l diff, 

and is not so much of a sprinter. Robin altered the 

rear suspension using settings which were already 

there via different pick-up points, thus altering the 

roll centre. The camber settings at the front have 

been changed quite considerably too.

Geoff Howard tested 876 HWD back in 1963 for 

Autocar, recording a top speed ("Balls-out and 

probably over-revving" according to Robin) of 

I0lmph, but with a 0-60mph time of 6.lsec, exactly 

halfthat ofthe standard car, and in the E-type/Aston 

bracket. However, he did have this to say: "But the 

Sabre is not a car for the unwary . . . we found the 

handling quite unpredictable. with very sudden 

oversteer. Rushing a corner, the front end stays stuck

well, but as the power goes on after the apex the tail 

gives a vicious kick outwards . . . I did more laps 

than I care to remember on the inner road circuit at 

MIRA . . . each time something different seemed to 

happenfornoobviousreason. ." 

Thus the car had a reputation for being a 'sudden 

death' machine, but Robin is of the opinion that it 

was the tyres that caused the problem: "It was on 

Dunlop Green Spots when Geoff tested it, and I 

reckon they made it treacherous". 

Geoff also recorded that: "The sensation during 

timed acceleration runs is terrific . . . long after we 

had an ample set of figures, the driver was still 

begging to be allowed to do it all again, iust for the 

funofit..." 

Climbing into the car, the first impressions you get 

are how unbelievably bare it is, with a minimum of 

padding, and frankly how well used everything is. 

lmmediately in front of you is a large 8000rpm tacho, 

red-lined at 5500rpm, and a speedo with 13,004 miles 

on it. Somehow I don't think that latter figure is 

accurate. 

The seating position is tailored for Robin, who is 

taller than me, so a padding behind my back was 

required, but even so the small, leather-rimmed 

steering wheel (which has replaced the original 

wood-rimmed one) and gear lever were a bit of a 

stretch away. 

Engine starts immediately 

A couple of dabs on the accelerator are all that is 

required for an immediate start, and the engine idles 

cleanly and without lumpiness. Blip the throttle and 

revs rise and drop almost instantaneously. The 

clutch is strictly an on-off device, which makes 

ordinary take-offs tricky. You're stationary one 

moment and moving the next: there's nowt in 

between. But it is perfect for a racing start. 

Once you're on the move, on a clear road, the 

Sabre comes alive. I must agree with Autocar - the 

sensation when accelerating is out of this world. 

Using 5500rpm, and not even full throttle, the car 

zaps up to peak revs in each gear as quickly as 

blinking an eyelid. Dip the clutch, snick the lever as 

fast as you like into the next gear, and repeat the 

performance. You keep doing it, going up and down 

the box, just for the sheer hell and fun of it. The 

twin-plate clutch and a lightened flywheel mean that 

there is very little inertia in the system, so changes 

really are electric switch quick. 

That performance is something else again. The 

Sabre "don't arf go, mate". There are the most 

beautiful noises from under that long, glass-frbre 

bonnet. To me, a straight six, well-tuned, with an 

open exhaust, is pure music, and in the Sabre there is 

the oomph to match that music - Robin reckons that, 

with the gearing the car now has, and the state of 

tune, it has a top of l20mph, and will reach 60mph 

from a standing start in 5.8sec - and the quarter mile 

in 14.7sec. And it's not at all peaky. You can drive it 

quite easily in ordinary traffic (although I didn't meet 

contafiporary)

a jam, so cannot comment on that aspect of the car) 

without any signs of fluffiness, misfring, surging, or 

other problems associated with semi-racing engines. 

It feels as if the torque range extends from idle to 

maximum revs, and the whole car is quite tractable 

and flexible. 

The steering is delightful, nicely weighted and 

direct, and it tells you exactly what's going on. At 

moderate speeds the handling is totally neutral - you 

iust point the car into a corner and around it goes. 

Try harder, and it becomes clear that this is a throttle 

steerer: you turn into a corner, feed in the power 

progressively, and unwind the lock in proportion. 

The surge away, with the tail just drifting slightly 

6utwards, is sheer magic. It's a very forgiving car too, 

according to Robin, and won't lead you into trouble 

"unless you leave your braking too late into the

are faultless, and the whole car behaves like a finetuned,

70 per cent racer, 30 per cent road car, and as homely 

as an old tramp. But then its purpose in life is to go, 

not look good: it's a fun-to-drive machine, pure and 

simple. 

It is, to Robin, though, a car that he's developed 

enough. "I'm not a sentimentalist. I'm happy to keep

For too long now I have slowly been piecing together 

what should be the definitive history of BRM. It's 

been a long and painful business partly because so 

much of the BRM story is one of barely relieved 

failure. The quality of the men and the material was 

never in doubt, but much of the management . . 

and the thinking . . well, that's quite some srory, 

and a difficult one to tell. But today BRM seems to 

attract starry-eyed nostalgics and dismissively bitter 

detractors, with nothing much in between. 

In many ways BRM was an 'in-between' teaml 

after taking ten years to win their firsr Grande 

Epreuoe, their reign during the l7z-litre Formula 

years from their successful season of 1962 to 1965 

really showed BRM at its best - the strongest overall 

team in Formula I racing, with nary a weak link in 

the chain. The spaceframe P57 cars with BRM's 

high-revving V8 engine and their own brilliantlyeffective 

transmission won the \9orld Championship 

in 1962, and could be beaten only by Jimmy Clark 

and Lotus in 1963. The monocoque P6l Mark 2 cars 

which followed gave Graham Hill more 

Championship points than any other driver in 1964, 

but he scored in too many races. He had to shed some 

points from his'poorest' performances at the end of 

the season, and that left John Surtees and Ferrari 

with a one point advantage, and the title. 

In 1965 BRM were again runners-up in the 

Constructors'Championship to Clark's Lotus. To be 

second in such company was no disgrace, to be 

runners-up in the World Formula I Constructors' 

Championship in three successive seasons after 

winning it outright in L962 was an achievement of 

remarkable, enduring competitiveness; a level of 

attainment which very few Grand Prix teams have 

ever managed to sustain. 

Among these lZz-litre cars, the monocoque P6l 

Mark 2 - or 'P261' as rhey became known - 

epitomised BRM's Rolls-Royce-inspired standards 

68 

The BRM PGI was not only one of the most beautiful racers ever made, 

it was also one of Bourne's most successful, as Doug Nye recalls 

of design, construction and continuous 

development. In later years, when Mike Spence left 

Lotus and ioined BRM, he tested one of the 3-litre 

Hl6 cars at Kyalami. His instant impression was 

"It's like the difference between driving a Rolls- 

Royce and driving a Ford. The only trouble is that 

the Ford's quicker . . . !". That didn't really apply to 

the P26l. 

Colin Chapman of course had introduced the 

modern 'monocoque' stressed-skin chassis theme to 

Formula I in 1962 with his epochal Lotus 25. Tony 

Rudd, BRM's Chief Engineer, looked towards 

achieving similar advantages in stiffness, strengthfor-weight 

and relative simplicity where weaving fuel 

tanks around frame tubes were concerned, with the 

moie truly monocoque P6l experimental car of 1963. 

BRM'sfirBtmon(rcoque 

This machine was actuallv of hybrid construction, 

with a stressed-skin forward nacelle mated to a 

tubular frame supporting the V8 engine and rear 

suspension. l7hereas the Lotus 25 family used socalled 

'bath-tub' monocoques, open-topped 

structures with two stressed-skin side booms linked 

by a stressed floor pan and intermediate bulkheads, 

the new BRM was more purely 'single-shell' as the 

name suggests; in effect a double-skinned alloy tube 

with a hole in the top just big enough for the man to 

climb in, a hatch above his shins to give access to the 

steering and pedals, and fuel bags lining either side. 

The engine support structure was a complex 

framework of tubes which could be quickly detached 

for maior work. The engine itself was unchanged and 

was matched to a new Alec Stokes-designed sixspeed 

P62 transaxle introduced that year. The rear 

suspension was almost identical to that used on the 

spaceframe P57s but to reduce drag the coil-spring/ 

damper units were moved within the 'bodywork' 

section, their upper ends meeting on the steel 

subframe and being operated at their lower 

extremities by long pushrods attached to the lower 

wishbones. 

The new front suspension was entirely different, 

following Lotus in using top rocker arms to acruate 

inboard coiVdamper units. In order ro minimise 

frontal area, the upper rocker arm entered the body 

below the level at the top of the spring, actuating it 

through a link system. Lower location was by widebased 

wishbones, the forward member being 

streamlined to restrict drag. The front end of the car 

was jam-packed with this suspension sysrem, 

radiators, anti-roll bar and links, battery and rackand-pinion 

steering. The bodywork consisted merely 

of a riny nose cowl with Dayglo orange air intake 

surround and a tail cowling to make the gearbox 

decent. 

Graham Hill drove the new car for the frst time at 

Zandvoort in practice for the 1963 Dutch GP but 

opted to race his trusty P57 instead. The car covered 

91 miles, but Graham elected to race it at Rheims in 

the following French GP. He qualified second fastest 

on the front row of the grid but was penalised for 

receiving a push-start in the race. He finished third, 

but opined that the car "feels as rhough it's got a 

hinge in the middle . . . ". After much testing the car 

didn't race again until the Italian GP in September, 

where Graham again qualified second and led on 

many occasions during a hectic slipstreaming race, 

but after retiring with clutch failure was only 

classified'16th'. The unloved hybrid chassis '6ll' 

was not raced again. 

I joined the staff of Motor Racing magazine as a 

wildly enthusiastic l8-year-old straighr from school 

in December '63, and later that month, loy of loys, 

was taken along to the BRM press visit ar Bourne. 

Apart from being mistaken for Chris Amon - very 

odd, all these strange imporrant people pumping my 

hand and saying "Hello Chris, how decent of you to 

Ct.Rsstc aNo Spon'rscan. Ducr:Msrr 1982

come!" - I felt like a kid set free in a toyshop. The 

P6l was there, gutted, about to be iunked, and the 

revised full-monocoque construction P6l Mark 2s 

were on the stocks. During 1964-65 they performed 

fantastic service and I look upon them today as the 

most covetable of all BRM's designs; that's not to 

denigrate the Vl6s and P25s and Vl2s- it's merely a 

sub-conscious product of the time at which I became 

'involved'. I can't help it. I was born too late. 

The P26ls, as they became known, differed from 

that unfortunate prototype in having monocoque 

horns extending either side of the engine and doing 

away with the old tubular subframe. Rear suspension 

was altered to a conventional outboard coil/damper, 

twin radius rod system, scrapping the inboard 

springs arrangement of'63. Rudd had been working 

furiously with his engineers to complete an in-vee 

exhaust V8 ready for the new car, but the necessary 

modified heads were not proven in time and so 

standard outside exhaust engines had to be used. 

This meant hacking tunnels through the lovely 

monocoque horn panels to allow the manifolding to 

pass through. 

A crash at Snetterton 

The 1964 Formula I season commenced at 

Snetterton on March 14,1964 and anybody who was 

there will recall how wet it was. Pakamac pockets 

filled overflowing to the brim as the rain bucketed 

down, seagulls coughing earthbound into the mist. 

Graham drove'2612'with l5in wheels, loved it, led 

for seven laps then crashed mightily after 

aquaplaning off on the straight - the car hurtling 

straight over the head of Daily Mirror photographer 

Arthur Sidey, leaving him with a memorable action 

study of the latest BRM's underside. The poor car 

was destroyed, irreparably distorted. Thereafter 

Graham would umph and grumph about succeeding 

P26ls - "It's good, but we've got a lot ofwork to do 

to make it as good as that first car . . " 

ln '2613' on the latest wide-tread Dunlop l3in 

tyres Graham led from the start at Goodwood only for 

the rotor arm to break two laps from the finish. 

Team-mate Richie Ginther rolled his car in practice 

for the Aintree '200' in which Graham was placed 

second in '2614'behind Brabham on its debut.

again beaten by Brabham, but he won at Monaco 

from Richie, second in '2613' - a terrific BRM l-2 

now all too often forgotten by the team's detractors. 

These two cars '2614' and '2613' driven by Hill 

and Ginther were fourth and eleventh at Zandvoort, 

then Graham took over the new '2615' at Spa and was 

fifth, behind Richie in '2613'. The old '2614' became 

Graham's spare. At Rouen, France, Graham's'26I5' 

was second and Richie fifth; at Brands Hatch 

Graham's tactics in'2614'were awry and he allowed 

Clark to beat him. Richie was eighth. At Solitude, 

outside Stuttgart, Graham shunted '2615'in the rain, 

while at the Ntirburgring his '2614' was second, 

Richie's regular'2613' finishing seventh. At Zeltweg 

'2615'broke its distributor drive (in engine'5624') 

but Richie was second in a car-breaking Austrian GP. 

Graham's '2615' with the new in-vee exhaust engine 

('5627' with new heads) destroyed its clutch before 

the start at Monza while Richie was 4th . . . 

Another new car, '2616', was built-up for the US 

and Mexican GPs and Graham won handsomely at 

Vatkins Glen in it, Richie's '2615' finishing fourth. 

In Mexico Richie was eighth and Graham eleventh 

after challenging for the Championship until Ferrari 

number two Lorenzo Bandini nudged him, exhaust 

tail-pipes-first, into the outside barrier at the hairpin. 

fhis incident cost Graham and BRM the lVorld 

titles, Jimmy Clark and Lotus lost them on the last 

lap as an oilJine let go, and John Surtees inherited 

them for Ferrari . . . It was the most sensational 

finish ever to a Formula I motor racing World 

Championship, Las-bloody-Vegas and its hotelcasino 

promoters paling into kitsch-ghastly 

insignificance. . . 

Anewidentity 

Car'2614' with engine'5628' and gearbox'62/6' 

was subsequently tested for 1021 miles at Riverside, 

California in Richie Ginther's last engagement for 

BRM before joining Honda. His place was taken by 

Jackie Stewart in 1965. '2615' was subsequently 

crashed heavi-ly in practice for the French GP at 

Clermont, by the Londoner. The story goes that this 

damaged chassis was rapidly replaced by a spare 

which assumed '2615's' chassis numbering and 

necessary documentation. The distorted tub was 

subsequently rescued and rebuilt as a complete car, 

evidence of its veracity including holes drilled in the 

outer skin on either flank where sub wings ti /c March 

70 I - if rather shorter in chord - were tried in testing 

during that season. The car was sold to BRM 

collector John McCartney, thence to Mike Harrison. 

During the final season of lt/z-litre Ft in 1965, 

'2615'was fifth at Brands Hatch. second ar 

Goodwood, and fifth at Spa driven by Hill. '2616' 

was third in South Africa, first for Graham's hattrick 

at Monaco, fifth at Clermont, second at 

Silverstone, fourth at Zandvoort, second at the 

Niirburgring, second at Monza and first for another 

BRMiHill hat-trick at Watkins Glen. A brand-new 

car , '2617' , had been specially-built for John Young 

Stewart's introduction to Formula I as a fullyfledged 

works driver, and his stunning maiden 

season in it included a sixth in the South African GP, 

second at Brands, pole position, but tenth place, at 

Goodwood, victory at Silverstone's International 

Trophy meeting, third at Monaco, second at Spa, 

Clermont and Zandvoort, fifth in the British GP, and 

the first of his record 27 Fl Championshipqualifying 

GP victories at Monza in the Italian GP, 

where Graham's sister car was second - outfumbled 

near the finish. 

The cigar-like P26Is raced on in 2-litre V8 Tasman 

form as works entries in the New Zealand and 

Australian series of 1966-68, and'2617' and '2616' 

were first and third respectively in the '66 Monaco 

GP for Stewart and Hill. 

As I said, during the mid-sixties the BRM works 

team was a truly front-line operation, without a weak 

link in the chain. The P26l series was its finest 

creation.

rffilie Green turns back the clock to the days when formula I was fiur, 

by driving an immaculate PGI 

This is going to be one of the most difficult track 

tests I have written for Classrc AND SPoRTSCAR. 

Not because we had maior problems during the 

test, nor even that inclement weather spoilt 

matters. It is diffrcult simply because the BRM P6l 

is just so undramatic. 

Doug Nye has chronicled the history of the 

species in the preceeding pages, but to start with 

I'll just briefly list the racing history of Mike 

Harrison's P6l/5. 

Its first race was at Spa in Belgium in June 1964, 

when Graham Hill drove it to a fifth place finish. 

At the end of the same month it achieved its finest 

placing, when Graham took it to second in the 

French GP. For the British GP in July it was used 

as a practice car by Graham, and the week after !e 

crashed it at the GP der Solitude in Germany- He 

retired in it at Austria a month later, and then it 

was used as a practice car for the Italian GP in 

September. Richie Ginther took it over for the last 

two GPs of the season, finishing fourth in America 

and eighth in Mexico. 

Practice car for Hill 

For 1965, Hill used it as a practice car most of 

the time, at Brands in March, Goodwood in April, 

Silverstone in May (when Jackie Stewart practised 

in it too), and at Monaco at the end of the same 

month. At the Belgian GP (held, one suspects' 

rather worryingly for superstitious drivers on the 

13th) Graham finished frfth. Finally it was 

comprehensively crashed during practice for the 

French GP by Graham, and honourably retired 

from the team. 

When I drove it, the car had only competed in 

one race after a total rebuild. Mike Littlewood took 

it to a win at Donington in the HSCC Villhire Pre- 

'65 single-seater race in July. 'i(ith relatively little 

mileage under its belt, it still needs a bit of sorting 

- but only a little. I reckon a day's track work 

(which could include setting it up for driver 

preferences) is all that is needed, and after that it 

should be one of the most competitive single 

seaters in the historic scene. 

But to the car itself. You have to admit that it is 

one of the most beautiful racing cars ever built. 

SIim, clean-lined, it looks, as someone put it, like a 

cigar tube on wheels. In action, it's more like a 

bullet on wheels! 

In general the cockpit is a snug fit but the 

controls are perfectly laid out. The seat is very 

comfortable but personally I preferred a more 

upright stance: a bit of foam padding behind my 

head cured that. Part of the side screens had been 

removed at the behest of owner Mike Harrison, 

but were I to drive it in a race I would have them 

replaced, since my head was being buffeted on the 

faster straights, which is tiring. 

74 

rh$ 

It's more years than I prefer to remember now 

since I first iat in front of a l%-litre BRM engine, 

and that was in a Chevron B5 (@S' June). I know 

I'm repeating myself, but I'll say it again: that 

engineis a pirfect little iewel. Once we'd cleared a 

phig problem, it iust sang along. It's as smooth and 

,r.iuiet as you could wish for. It starts instantly, 

idles without lumpiness, and is untemperamental 

at low speeds. It begins to pull strongly from -about 

6000rpm, and is 'on song' by 6500-7000rpm' 

screaming powerfully up to 9000rpm, which is 

what I wai pulling on Hangar Straight and up 

through Abbey on Silverstone's full GP circuit. 

A 2100rpm'rev band may not sound like a wide 

power spread, but you have a six-speed gearbox-a.s 

well, so it's not too difficult to keep it on full 

power. The change for the BRM 'box is a bit stiff'

and you have to be deliberate about your changes' 

It's not an electric switch type of change, but it is 

quick and positive. I cannot remember anything 

about the foot controls, which is always a good sign 

- it means that they are working properly. 

Vhen I said thecar was undramatic I was really 

talking about the handling. The period b..,-Y9tn 

1959,-when the Dino was competitive, and.1964, 

when this BRM appeared, saw some significant 

changes. There was the reduction in engine size to 

l%-litres for a start, but much more important was 

the wholesale change-over to mid-enghed designs 

and - possibly of lqual importance - the rapid 

growth in tyre widths. 

Steering light and resPonsive 

If I've done my sums correctly, this means-that 

tyre widths were up by 30 per cent,.weight down 

by roughly the same amount. This in turn led to 

cornerilng'forces up by 50 per cent and therefore 

speeds u-p by 20 per cent. Thus, even -with 

onl; 

l%-litres, and - what? 200bhp? - the BRM corners 

very rapidly indeed. 

At th. ti..t of the test the car was a bit skittish' 

but a slight adiustment to the rear roll bar cured 

that. t kiow I like oversteer, but with something 

like the BRM the more tidy you are the quicker 

you are. 

" iou ca, make it oversteer, but lifting off scrubs off 

the speed and brings you back on line again - it's-very 

easy to catch. - The P6l slides beautifully, 

predictably, neutrally, and - as I've said - without 

d."m". Th..teeringis light and responsive, and the 

combination of all ihese factors make it one of the 

best handling cars I've ever driven' The brakes, too, 

are fantastic, again displaying no quirks. 

That superb engine, the predictable 

controlability, the sheer lack of fuss about the P6l, 

add up to a car that is sheer magic' I must 

mention, too, that Hall & Fowler, who prepared 

the car, have done an immaculate iob - the photos 

don't do it iustice. 

The P61 is a time machine. As Doug Nye has said, 

it was a truly great car, and it took me back to the

d 

Inwhich Innes lrelandrecalls some of the more 

entertaining moments in his racing career 

'Those were the days.' How many times have we 

heard that expression? As many times as there have 

been eras of racing drivers, I suppose, and for each 

soul who utters it, it is true. For his era is the one in 

which he was deeply involved, for him it was the 

important one. In my case that era spanned the years 

1959 to 1966 if I confine myself to Grand Prix rating, 

l956to l967ifldon't. 

Often referred to as rhe halcyon days of Brirish 

motor sport, this era saw the emergence of British 

cars and British drivers as a force to be reckoned 

with. It all began with Tony Brooks' victory in the 

British Grand Prix of 1957 driving a Vanwall. 

The meaning of 'halcyon' 

Used as an adiective, the word 'halycon' means 

'calm'. As a noun it means 'a bird fabled by the 

ancients to breed in a floating nest on rhe sea at winter 

solstice, and to charm wind and waves into calm for 

the purpose.' Thinking back to the manner in which 

some races were won, and indeed the final race ofthe 

1964 season which gave John Surrees his 

Championship, I feel the description 'calm' to be 

tairly inept. But perhaps the users of the word 

concern themselves with the Latin for it is a 

derivative of the Greek word 'alkuon' meaning 

'king{isher'which, as we all know, is a very beautiful 

bird. For this reason the use of the word may be 

valid, for certainly there were a lot of very beautiful 

birdsaroundatthetime. . . 

I was dining with one of rhem one evening of 

practice for the 1963 French Grand Prix at Reims. 

Under the glittering chandeliers of the Lion d'Or's 

magnificent dining room I felt I was doing a grand 

iob of impressing this lady, casually sending back at 

least two bottles of a priceless 1947 Gevrey 

Chambartin under the pretext of being corked or 

undrinkable for some other reason. Finally we came 

to that part of a meal devoted to intelligent 

conversation over coffee and Drambuie when I was 

really going to lay on the charm when a young fellow 

and his wife entered the room. Looking uncertainly 

about him he spotted me and, coming to the rable,

asked if they might ioin us. Frankly this was the last 

thing I wanted at this nnment citique of the evening, 

but being ever polite and considerate, particularly to 

a fellow Scot, I said: 'Of course, we'd be delightedl' 

The fellow Scot was, of course, Jackie Stewart, 

then an up-and-coming driver engaged in Formula 3 

racing. He proceeded to inform me that he had been 

offered a contract for the following season and 

wished to know how much money he should ask of 

this company, how much from rhar one. Finally I had 

to draw the line, rather vaguely telling Jackie that I 

really didn't have the first idea how to advise him for 

I had never asked a single penny from anyone. I'm 

not sure how the conversation went thereafter. 

Eighteen months later Jackie was to have the first 

of three seasons with BRM where he learned a great 

deal, particularly in 1965 and 1966, from the BRM 

number one, Graham Hill, before going on to win his 

three Championships in the era that was to follow. 

I mention this incident to underline two rhings - 

the years in question were the most successful for the 

BRM team during which they provided the means 

for one driver to become l0forld Champion and 

schooled another who was to emerge as such in a 

totally different era - the world of high finance and 

sponsorship. 

Followers of today's Grand Prix racing will have 

read ofthe vast financial investment in the sport, the 

enonnous sums of money paid to drivers for their 

services. They may have read of how Colin 

Chapman's iet helicopter is ferried from one circuit 

to the next to meet him at the nearest airport to take 

him to his hotel from whence he uses it to commute to 

the track. ttr(ith all this money floating about there is 

tremendous outside pressure on the drivers to justify 

their existence, albeit a pressure partially selfinduced. 

Happily those pressures didn't exist when I was 

racing and for me, at least in the beginning, it was all 

lust good fun. But there's one thing we all had in 

cornmon with the drivers of today. Vhen the flag 

dropped, we drove our hardest to win. 

A far greater feeling of comaraderie existed than 

that which prevails today, that feeling extending 

from the team boss to the mechanics, for in the team 

there was a sense of belonging. In the early days of 

Team Lotus I sometimes iourneyed to the circuit in 

the transporter with the mechanics, one such trip 

being in 1959 to Roskilde 'Ring. The 'works 

transporter' was a vastly different affair to the huge 

f70,000 articulated vehicles of today, being a 

forward control l5cwt Ford van chassis which was 

elongated with a flat platform body to carry a car. 

Below the platform were various lockers for spares 

and the cab was extended to carry five people. A 

tweaked-up Zephyr engine had been Iitted which 

kept on breaking the gearbox until this unir was 

exchanged for an old Alvis one with crash gears. 

Transporter troubles 

Driving back from the race to catch the boat - as 

usual we were late - I was at the helm going flat out. I 

felt a slight swerve, then a distinct pull on the 

steering. Thinking I might have a tyre going soft I 

glanced in the rear view mirror to see one of the rear 

wheels protruding well our ro rhe side and gradually 

coming out further. Just before it came off 

altogether, I got the thing stopped only to find our 

iack didn't have sufficient strengrh ro lifr up the axle. 

rVe finished our iourney on the back of a vast 

recovery vehicle, frantically egging on its driver to 

greater speed. 

After this episode Colin felt rhar the worrhy 

machine was incapable of getting the two works cars 

to Monza for that year's Italian Grand Prix, and 

knowing that I had a four-wheeled double decker 

trailer for my sports and Formula 2 cars he asked if I 

would take the two Fl machines while the dreaded 

transporter carried the spares. As my starting money 

amounted to today's equivalent of a carton of 

cigarettes I happily agreed thinking at leasr my 

personal transport costs would be covered. 

Going south we travelled in convoy and I 

remember stopping at the Italian frontier going down 

the steep decline of the Simplon pass. Eventually the 

truck came in sight, engine screaming at high revs on 

the overrun, going quite slowly. Suddenly 

remembering that one of its little foibles was that the 

brakes soon became useless after a spot of work I 

realised that it was unlikely to srop ar the barrier. 

Already I could see smoke rising in clouds from each 

corner. !flith my companion, I rushed uphill towards 

it throwing rocks under the wheels to slow it down by 

degrees until a rather pale Jim Endruweit could steer 

it gently into the bank. The only other incident was 

when one of the wheels of my trailer overtook me on a 

fast stretch ofroad, bounding offinto a cornfield. 

The maddening thing was that Team Lotus would 

pay only for the trailer's fare across the channel, Mr 

Chapman explaining that since I was driving to 

Monza anyway I could jolly well pay for my own 

petrol. He didn't even appreciate the fact rhat my

I ran out of brakes in the Lotus four times that 

year, and Monza was one of them. In the early stages 

of the race I was catching Harry Schell in his BRM, 

finally deciding to overtake him under braking going 

into the Parabolica. I made my move on his inside 

and after getting by, went for the brakes. The pedal 

flopped straight to the floor, and nothing much else 

happened. Pumping the pedal furiously I changed 

down through the gears and, entering the corner far 

too fast, started to spin. Somehow I managed to spin 

all the way around the corner and each time I faced 

backwards there was Harry looking for some way 

aroundme.

Aftn leavingTeamLotus,Innes drooefor UDT-Laystall. Hercheisintheir Lotus l9 

lVe were racing at Silverstone one day when 

Graham came up and asked if I could fly him to 

Rouen that evening as he was entered to drive John 

Coombs' Formula 2 car the following day. Having 

nothing better to do, I agreed and at about five 

o'clock, in company with Bette, we climbed aboard 

the Bonanza and headed for Gatwick to clear 

customs. By 7.30pm we were checking into a hotel in 

Rouen which greatly impressed Graham. Apart from 

the time element he appreciated the convenience of a 

light aeroplane. 

A dedication from Graham 

I have a copy of Graham's book L/e at the Limit 

given to me by the author and scribbled in front in his 

abominable handwriting the dedication ends "for 

introducing me to so many things!!!?" I can't think 

what the other things were, but cenainly one ofthem 

was private flying. 

After the Rouen trip I flew Graham and Bette to 

most of the races until {inally he bought his own 

plane which, years later, so tragically carried him to 

his death. On outbound trips, while I had my head 

buried in the 'office'working out headings and ETAs 

Graham would do the steering which he greatly 

enjoyed. But on return journeys I had to do it all, for 

Graham, in his methodical, dedicated approach to 

his racing, was writing down in a notebook every 

single change he had made to his car in practice 

together with lap times and his comments. 

In another notebook he would record the punch 

line of any jokes he had heard over the weekend, 

which served him so well to liven up the after-dinner 

speeches for which he was so famous. It wasn't until 

years later I was told that, upon coming in to land, 

Bette would huddle in her back seat, clasp her hands 

and say over and over: "God keep us safe, God keep us 

safe!" I often wondered why my landings were so 

smooth! 

The more light-hearted side of life was when we 

would compete in the World Championship events 

for Sports and GT cars. rVhile we were just as serious

The Leidart, withits FordVB mgine and light, sporting chussis, could almost be called a thirties Morgan Plus 8 

Ponteftact hotcalrc 

An Anglo-American hybrid of the thirties, 

the fate of the Pontefract-built Leidart is amystety, 

as Mike Worthingrton-lfiilliams reports 

Yorkshire was once a prolific source of motor 

manufacturers, and most of them - Jowett, 

Sheffield-Simplex, Richardson, Bell, and Day- 

Leeds included - have been reasonably well 

documented over the years. Of the ephemerals, 

however, which have defied the efforts of historians, 

none is more tantalising than the Pontefract-built 

Leidart. 

Reader Keith Copp of Canvey Island is fascinated 

by the marque and has been trying to ascertain 

whether any Leidarts survive. Certainly we haven't 

heard ofany. Although the press coverage was quite 

good when the first car was announced in May 1936, 

the only one ever illustrated was AVY 817. 

Named after its sponsors 

The car took its name from its sponsors, Leith, 

Huddart & Co, and Keith has been told that it's 

possible either Mr Leith or Mr Huddart moved to 

Brighton after the cessation ofproduction ofthe cars. 

Coincidentally, I went to school in Brighton and one 

of the teachers, a Yorkshireman named Joe Huddart, 

was also a local JP. I cannot think, however, that he 

switched from motor manufacture to Religious 

Instruction and Geography! 

The Leidart was one of that select band (which 

Michael Sedgwick calls the 'Anglo-American Sports 

Bastards') which flourished briefly in the thirties. In 

this instance American engines and running gear 

were wedded to British suspension and bodywork. 

The band included the Brough Superior (Hudson 

mechanicals), Jensen (Ford and Nash), Batten (Ford 

V8), Lammas (Graham), and best-known of all, 

Railton (Hudson). 

The Leidart looked uncommonly like a Morgan, 

and favoured the Ford V8 engine - a combination

which could today be equated with Morgan's Plus 8 

Rover-engined formula. In concept, therefore, it 

could be said to have been not only ahead of its time, 

but pretty rapid in operation as well. The speciallytuned 

engine had twin carburettors and a Scintilla 

Vertex magneto Iitted. Torsional stresses were 

countered by a considerably stiffened chassis, and 

although the prototype only managed mechanical 

brakes, hydraulics were said to be a future 

possibility. 

The gearbox was also Ford, albeit with remote 

control. Suspension was by halfelliptics at the front 

and reversed quarter elliptics at the rear with 

Hartford triple shock absorbers. A most attractive 

open 2/4-seater body with low lines (but 6in ground 

clearance) graced the only car we have ever seen

photographed; weighing only l9cwt 2qrs, the 

Leidart gave over lOOmph with excellent 

a feature shared with the Hudson- 

acceleration - 

engined Railton, which could also out-accelerate 

many British sports cars ofpurer pedigree. 

The price of the two-seater was f400, although 

individual extras cost more, and a four-seater tourer 

and sports saloon were also mooted at 8425 and t575 

respectively. A proiected drop-head coupd was to 

cost f550. 

A comlrctition succesE 

In the event it is doubtful whether these latter 

models were actually built, but we do know that at 

least one of the two-seaters was sold to a Mr P.H. 

Barran of Leeds. This gentleman entered his car in 

the Vetherby Speed Trials, and was successful in his 

class against strong opposition. rVhat, we wonder, 

became of this car, and was it the same A'{7Y 817 

which featured rn all The Autocar and The Motor 

articles? 

A special speed model was also announced, fitted 

with two superchargers and capable of a guaranteed 

l25mph (!) but whether this was ever built is open to 

question. After the first flurry of publicity in May 

and June 1936 little more was heard of the Leidart 

until 1937 when a somewhat tamer version with Ford 

Ten mechanicals was announced. No tangible 

evidence that this car was ever built has yet come to 

light, however, although our knowledgeable readers 

may be able to correct us, 

Vhy did the Leidart fail? tts specification was 

robust and uncomplicated, the Ford components 

would have ensured spare parts availability, and the 

performance figures and top speed allied to good 

looks should have assured it of success. Perhaps it 

was the old story of a good car built by an undercapitalised 

company; but whatever the reasons for its 

demise, the Leidart appears to have sunk without 

trace. 

!(/e would love to be able to report a survivor - 

Keith Copp having set his heart on one or, as second 

choice, on the building of a replica. So, come on, you 

Yorkshire readers, see if you can find us one! 

Remember it had Bugatti-type springing, and a 3.6- 

litre engine capable of trouncing cars up to 5-litres - 

those rVetherby Trials were organised by the 

Yorkshire Sports Car Club and the Leidart won the 

5-litre spons car class.

Iohn Bolster tells the story of his cherished Fiat 850 coup6, a car he bought new in f 966. 

The model, he feels, could become a minor coUector's prize in the futrue. We agrree . . . 

This is a story with a difference. Many articles have 

appeared in Cr-Rssrc RNo SponrscRn about the 

heroic restorations of old cars, that have been rebuilt 

after years ofneglect. In contrast, this is the tale ofa 

pampered little car that I acquired new in 1966 and 

which has never spent a night out ofdoors in its life. 

I had been driving an AC Aceca-Bristol on my 

daily iourneys, but when the 70mph limit was 

introduced I decided to conserve my driving licence 

by running a less potent machine. Obviously, my 

ticket was ac risk when I was trying fast road-test 

cars, but that seemed all the more reason to moderate 

my pace on duty journeys. However, few.small cars 

appealed to me until I went to Italy to test-drive the 

then new Fiat 850 Coup6. 

Here was a really beautiful little car - a sort of baby 

Ferrari if you will - that only the Italians could 

design. I lost my heart to its pretty face and, in my 

opinion, it hasn't dated much in 16 years. Better still, 

unlike many coup6s, it didn't have the bog-standard 

engine of the 850 saloon. A special cylinder head 

carried a twin-choke Weber carburettor, with 

different valves and springs, the compression ratio 

going up to 9.3:1. A more sporting camshaft was 

htted, plus an elaborate exhaust manifold with pipes 

of tuned length. I remember Bruce Mclaren saying 

that it was the best exhaust system he had seen on a 

production car. 

Two plus two configruration 

Like the saloon, the coup6 was rear-engined and 

the body was of two plus two configuration. "fhe 

interior was attractively furnished, with very large 

speedometer and rev-counter dials. The suspension 

was independent all round, with a transverse spring 

and wishbones in front, semi-trailing arms and coil

springs behind, plus anti-roll bars at both ends. The 

brakes were of the usual disc/drum arrangment and 

the radiator was alongside the engine, a two-stage 

belt drive looking after the fan, water pump, and DC 

generator. The pulley on the engine was combined 

with a Vandervell-type centrifugal oil filter. 

rifhen I took delivery, I was delighted with the 

gunmetal-grey finish, which blended well with the 

red upholstery. I wondered whether or not I would 

find an 850cc car hopelessly boring after my hot 2- 

Iitre, but I soon decided that it was rather fun as I 

buzzed across Europe to the various Grands Prix and 

motor shows. Even in those days, thanks to my Scots 

ancestry, I revelled in a fuel consumption that often 

approached 40mpg. 

The engine is incredibly smooth, running up to 

7000rpm as a matter of course and spinning on 

towards 8000rpm if one does not watch the revcounter. 

Yet, this is not an overhead-camshaft unit 

but relies on ordinary pushrods and rockers. The 

level ofmechanical noise is very moderate, even by 

modern standards, the gearbox also being quiet. 

Fairly pronounced tyre noise is noticeable on some 

road surfaces, however. 

Ofcourse, one does not run a car ofonly 850cc if 

speed is a primary obfective. However, the 

speedometer will indicate over 90mph, probably 

equivalent to an honest 87mph, though later models' 

with a 903cc engine and four headlamps, would 

achieved a timed 90mph. Maxima in the gears are 

67mph in third and 46mph in second, the gearchange 

being easy and light in action. 

The car is still on 5.50-13 cross-ply tyres, though a 

change to radials is under consideration, perhaps on 

wider rims; I would be grateful for advice from other 

owners on this point. The steering is on the heavy 

side for so small a car and perhaps rather insensitive, 

yet the tiny vehicle scuttles round corners 

remarkably quickly. Nevertheless, this is a rearengined 

car and a point can eventually be reached 

where the rear end breaks away rather strongly. The 

Cr-asslc aNo SxrnrscAR. DECF]MBItR 1982

steering is fairly quick and control can easily be 

regained, but for comfortable motoring it is perhaps 

as well to avoid hanging out the tail. 

I used the Fiat for about four years as my everyday 

car, then had it fitted with new Koni dampers, kingpins 

and steering ball ioints, before passing it on to 

Rosemary, my wife. She ran it for another four years, 

then dealt with a rust problem by having new sills, 

brake pipes, and one front wing installed. 

Unfortunately, the speedometer gave some trouble 

at this time and we have lost count of the total 

mileage. 

After these repairs, the Fiat was not put back on 

the road. lWe were rather heavily involved in the 

Burmah Oil crash and had to draw in our horns, 

which meant running fewer cars, among other 

things. The little car sat under a dust sheet at the end 

of the motor house, but we never forgot our old 

favourite and occasionally ran the engine or dusted 

down the body. 

Back on the road again 

Now, Rosemary has found enough pennies in her 

piggy-bank to tax the baby coup6, and it's back on 

the road again. After the replacement of one brake 

cylinder, it passed the MoT with flying colours, and 

it will be as lively as ever it was when I have managed 

to clean all the unmentionable muck out of the 

carburettor. As a shopping car it's ideal, with a 

wheelbase of 6ft 7.8ins and a sharp steering lock, 

while a width of 4ft llins is a great advantage, 

compared with modern cars. 

For longer journeys, the driving position is very 

comfortable and, at the end of a day's march, the 

Jaguar driver will barely have time for a couple of 

quick ones before you loin him in the bar. There are 

still a few of these pretty little cars around and if you 

can find a rust-free example, it may well be a good 

buy. Rosemary takes hers along to the local garage, 

where they steam-clean the bottom and spray it with 

special oil. Done regularly, this may perhaps keep 

the dreaded tin-worm at bay. Incidentally, there is an 

excellent workshop manual, published by J.H. 

Haynes. 

Though it only cost f600 or so, if I remember 

right, I feel that this must become a collector's car 

'erelong. E=7

The economic miracle that we hear so much of in 

Germany has had an indirect effect on old vehicles 

- they scarcely exist. 

Years of zero production in the forties ensured 

that anything older was driven into the ground. 

The 40 Deutschmark 'fresh start' that theoretically 

gave everyone an equal post-war opportunity for a 

new life, led to a booming economy and a highly 

acquisitive society that only wanted to be seen in 

the latest and shiniest car. Old bangers were 

definitely infra dig. 

With lashings of surplus money and a growing 

regard for nostalgia in general, and 'oldtimers' in 

particular, all this is changing and old cars or even 

replicas are highly sought-after. The trouble is that 

it is a case of shutting the stable door after the 

horse has bolted, as most interesting vehicles now 

have to be imported at inflated prices. Or so I 

thought until I spent seven weeks in Munich this 

summer and found one collection of horsepower 

that had miraculously not been put out to pasture. 

Appropriately enough the place in question was a 

trotting track, where horses circled a sandy saucer 

towing ' jockeys' on flimsy sulkies that were 

apparently made from redundant racing bicycles. 

I was first drawn to the spectacle when I spotted 

a man atop the ladder of a 25-year-old Magirus- 

Deutz fire engine busily trimming overhanging 

branches. As for five weeks I had seen literally 

nothing in the way of vehicles more than ten years 

old, except in the Deutsches and BM1W Museums, 

a closer investigation was called for, and that is 

how I came to find an oasis of working 'oldtimers' 

in the midst of one of Germany's most advanced 

and forward-thinking cities. 

The fire engine had an air-cooled V6 diesel and 

the rounded bullnose that was such a Magirus 

feature in the fifties, along with the stylised 

emblem of three-spired Ulm cathedral on the airintake. 

Seeing my interest in his old fire engine the 

racecourse manager, Herr Kellner, summoned me 

to meet its elder sister. This is a vast 1939 street 

sprinkler that is now used for keeping the sand 

under control on windy race days. The bulkhead 

plate revealed that it had started life with a sixcylinder, 

water-cooled Holzgas engine developing 

I 

I 

ER 

Nick Baldwin's postcard from 

Germany where he discovered a 

few old vehicles still working for 

theirliving 

ll0bhp but that in 1953 a straight-six, air-cooled 

Deutz l3Obhp diesel had been grafted in. The 

radiator had been removed at the time and a neat 

housing for the cooling turbine rivetted to the side 

of the enormous Sft bonnet. There was no obvious 

mounting point for the former producer-gas 

generator and certainly no space in the usual 

position behind the cab, so perhaps it had once 

lived under the capacious bonnet. Chassis number 

was 9261/85 and it dated from soon after the Deutz 

takeover of Magirus in 1938, iudging by twin 

plates stating Humboldt Deutz Motoren AG and 

Magirus \flerke, Ulm/Donau. 

Galaxie roaredup 

Johann Matiasik, the Yugoslav mechanic whose 

enviable task it is to keep Herr Kellner's stable in 

action, roared up at this stage in a 1966 Ford 

Galaxie 'start' car and allowed me to have a little 

drive in the six-speed Magirus. As we circled the 

track and experienced the frisky performance of 

I30bhp in the empty truck he mentioned that it 

had originally been used as a sprinkler and standby 

water cannon at Hitler rallies before the war. 

The next drive we had was in the Galaxie, which 

is one of three big V8s used by the track for 

carrying enormous folding starting gates controlled 

.{' 

from perspex domes cut in the roof of each. With 

up to ten sulkies in a race the cars take it in turns 

to drive round until all the contestants are lined up 

at speed behind the appropriate number on the 

gate, at which stage the starter in his dome 

accelerates clear and gets off the track as soon as he 

can fold the metal arms sprouting from the boot. 

He has control over everything in the car apart 

from steering. 

The other start cars are a Chevrolet V8 engined 

Opel Diplomat and an immaculate late fifties Edsel 

Citation. The latter defied my photographic efforts 

because it was in the back of a dark shed suffering 

from a deranged push-button transmission. Johann 

Matjasic has scoured Germany, and Ford Cologne 

in particular, for a replacement gearbox, but 

without success. 

Having experienced the Magirus sprinkler from 

the driver's cab the next practical lesson came from 

two cheerful Italians, whose fob it was to operate a 

large normal control Man tank wagon which must 

have been every bit of 30 years old. One did the 

driving, and claimed that it was just about run-in, 

while the other rode on a seat on the top of the 

tank behind the cab and controlled both the filling 

from a steam train-like bowser and four levers that 

altered outlet volume and direction. We did a run 

to dampen the track during the warming-up laps 

before a race and I was put in charge of half the 

controls. It should have been very simple, but 

without a trial run I found it all too easy to douse 

the limbered up horses and their jockeys. 

The real winner at Munich racecourse to my 

mind, even if the punters were foolish enough to 

put their money elsewhere, was the oldest of the 

ex-city road washers. It is a 1936 2350 kg capacity 

Mercedes-Benz which is now relegated to the 

lighter duties of keeping flower beds and window 

boxes watered. Complete with archaic script and 

chrome plated radiator it looked delectable picking 

its way amongst the geraniums. 

For the foreseeable future this unexpected and 

unintentional working motor museum should be 

safe - though it seems such a shame that the only 

people to see its treasures up to now are probably 

far keener on horses than horsepower. q;z

Title: AC and Cobra 

Author: John Mclellan 

Publishers: Dalton \Watson Ltd 

Price: t14.50 

ISBN:0901 564575 

Mainly a picture-and-caption book, 

plus a brief technical specification section. 

This may sound derogatory: it 

isn't meant to be. Our major criticism 

is that many of the pictures are company 

hand-outs: having said that, 

however, there are also a considerable 

number which are previously unpublished 

and for that reason the book is 

highly enioyable and entertaining.

Title: The Complete Encyclopedia of 

Motorcars 

Author: G.N. Georgano 

Publishers: Ebury Press, London 

Price: t25.00 

ISBN: 0 85223 234 9 

The author's name is now part of the 

motoring historian's iargon, as in 

"\iflhere's the Georgano?" - an oftheard 

cry in Classtc aNo SPoRTSCAR's 

office. 

This is in fact the third edition (the 

hrst was in 1968) of the historic car 

buffs bible. Individual marques are, of 

course, covered in considerably greater 

depth in one-make books, but if you 

want to know what a Deguingand, or a 

Paragon, or a Lord Baltimore were, 

this is where to start looking. To us, it 

is indespensible. 

However, there is one major criticism 

which we would like to have seen 

corrected by now - a severe lack of pictures. 

For example, opening the book 

at random (page 384, actually), there 

Mysterycar 

mystery car brought forth a good 

deal of correct answers, the fullest from 

George Rance ol the HSCC. He writes: "Thrs 

is 'T. Dryver'with his De Havilland ATN Special 

at Rest-and-be-Thanklul hillclimb in June 

1 956 where it broke a back axle. 

"Basically the car was a O-type MG into 

which 'Dryver' had shoehorned a lourcylinder 

Gipsy Malor aero engine (such as fitted 

to Tiger Moth/Chipmunk aircrafl). 'Dryver' 

was, in fact, a chap named Tom Norton who 

also ran another special- Mephistophelgatti - 

and later some Cooper-Japs and R4D after

are Il makes covered, but only three 

photographs. Ve do not need to be told 

how difficult it is to find pictures of 

long-defunct machinery, but we do feel 

a greater effort could have been made 

in this direction. 

Nevertheless, the best and most 

competent reference book around.

Title: Looking Back with lesse 

Alexander 

Author: Jesse Alexander 

Publisher: The author. Available in 

UK through Connoisseur Carbooks 

Price: f 21.95 

ISBN: 0 949946 00 8 

This book is a collection of Jesse Alexander's 

photographs of European 

motor racing 'from the adventurous 

years between 1954 and 1967'. An 

American, Mr Alexander's credentials 

are impeccable, his works having been 

seen in such prestigious publications as 

Road and Track, the Sunday Times, 

S ports I llustrated, and Time. 

thedeath ol Ken Wharton. 

"l believe the car lirst appeared at the Rest 

in June 1955 where it looked rather moro like 

an MG with just the bonnet cut away to clear 

the Gipsy motor. lt was claimed it had an Alvis 

Silver Eagle gearbox, Ford V8 clutch and the 

poor MG tinal drive (Autospon, July 8, 1955, 

p]2). ln your picture the car has been modified 

with Morris Minor (?) front suspension 

and a new bonnet. I was then a young apprentice 

screwing together Gipsy Major aero en' 

gines at De Havilland's Leavesden factory, 

hence my inlerest in the car. 

"The Gipsy Major was inverted in the ATN 

as the aero installation required the cylinders 

to be beneath lhe crankcase Ior the Tigers. I 

don't think the ATN was at all successful and it 

must have been a pig to drive. Do I win a 

watch?" 

Sorry George, watches come with the 

Casio Caption competition! 

Others to correctly identify the creation and 

its creator were historian Andrew Whyte who 

remembered that its progress 'onward and 

upward was as spectacular as it was sporadic' 

and T.J. Morgan who remembered Tom Norton 

as 'one of the kindest and most helptul of 

the hillclimb crowd of those days who gave me 

End ofthe Season 

If you agree with his premise about 

the years covered (which the reviewer 

does) then the book is pure magic. It is 

anything but a stereotype series of racing 

shots of classic cars at classic circuits 

in classic cornering positions: 

each picture tells a story, from Dan 

Gurney shielding his eyes as he drives 

into the setting sun at Le Mans ("I used 

several rolls of film to get this one 

shot") to the guard at the gate of 

Scuderia Ferrari. Very highly recommended' 

MM 

no end of help and encouragement when I 

was driving an ancient Cooper Jap. ln the 

days that I knew him, he lived in Edgebaston 

with his lovely wile, Penny, and he died at a 

very young age. His passing was a very sad 

loss'. 

Also on the right lines were Gordon Fraser

Title: Car Numbers 1982 

Author: Noel \Toodall 

Publishers: Transport Bookman 

Publications Ltd 

Pirce: f 12.00 

ISBN: 0 851 84040 X 

You're either a car number enthusiast 

(autonumerlogist) or you're not. If 

you're not, this book is one for snobs: if 

you are, it's a fascinating read. For example 

- and picking at random - P.G. 

Palumbo owns 365BOX on a Ferrari 

Boxer 365, and has a collection of other 

of Worcester and Malcolm Jeal of Wiltshire. 

Malcoim's research reveals lhat its best tame 

at Rest in 'l 956 was 68.1 1s. 

This month we leave the competition arena 

and return to the salon scene. This is a special 

based on a popular B.ilish sportscar. But 

what, who did it and when? 

Based on a Bitish sportscar, this creation appeared ofl the motor show citcuit. Butwhat is it?

Title: The Complete Guide to the 

Volvo 1800 Series 

Author: John Creighton 

Publisher: Dalton li(atson 

Price: t6.50 

ISBN:090 1564567 

This looks to be a Iabour oflove, a book 

assembled by an enthusiast totally 

hooked on the subiect in hand. Every 

conceivable detail, every noteworthy 

statistic - in fact everything you are 

ever likely to want to know about a 

Volvo 1800 appears in this book, in 

one form or another. 

Here you will find pages and pages 

full of incredibly detailed production 

information and practical data; if you 

drive an 1800 or simply like reading 

about the marque, therefore, this guide 

will be well worth seeking out. At the 

back large chunks of contemporary 

road tests, which pit the 1800 against 

its rivals, re-appear almost verbatim. 

In short this Volvo guide comes 

across as a profusely illustrated, inexpensive 

book that 1800 buffs around 

the world (the book's already doing 

well in Australia, we're told) will 

appreciate. John Creighton is to be 

congratulated on compiling this mine 

of 1800 information, but overall the 

book has a disappointingly amateurish 

feeltoit.

Title: Richard Shuttleworth. An Illustrated 

Biography 

Author: Kevin Desmond 

Publishers: Jane's Publishing Co Ltd 

Price: t10.00 

ISBN:0 7106 0185 9 

Many of our readers have heard of the 

Shuttleworth Collection, housed at Old 

Warden. Few will know after whom 

the Collection is named - fuchard 

Ormonde Shuttleworth. 

He was born into a fabulously wealthy 

family, and even at school displayed 

a far greater enthusiasm for things 

mechanical than intellectual. He became 

a rather wild racing driver, eventually 

(effectively) finishing his track 

career with a huge crash in South Africa. 

He also took to flying with great 

enthusiasm. But above all he was a collector 

ofveteran and vintage machinery 

in the thirties - long before such a hobby 

was to become respectable. It was 

from his love of early cars and aeroplanes 

that the Collection became 

possible. 

The author has found a considerable 

number of photographs, and the book 

takes the form of illustrations with 

lengthy captions for each. Shuttleworth 

was only 3l when he was killed 

in an aircraft accident during the war, 

but managed to cram a considerable 

amount into his life before then, and 

the pictures and words capture his 

care-free, arrogant, egotistical, don'tgive-a-damn 

attitude perfectly. The 

whole book reeks of wealth, and the 

thirties, and adventure, with such 

evocative niunes as Brooklands, 

Donington, Croydon, and Heston. It 

was a golden age, and Richard Shuttleworth 

was a very gilded youth. A highly 

readable, entertaining book - but it's 

a pity about the poor proofreading.

Title: Triumph Spitfire and GT6 

Author: Graham Robson 

Publishers: Osprey Publishing Ltd 

Price: f9.95 

ISBN:0 85045 452 2 

Graham Robson makes no attempt to 

hide the fact that he was closely involved 

with Triumph at the time the 

prototype Bomb became the Spitfire, 

and that he holds this much maligned 

car close to his heart. 

But lest anyone should expect a 

whitewash cover-up job, let it be said 

that Robson is not blind to the faults 

inherent in the car's design. He admits 

that the handling of the car in its early 

days was cause for much press comment, 

but explains why the swing-axle 

Gr*arnFob*on 

. .:}, 

@raftrwwt 

layout was originally adopted . . . and 

later modified. 

The book goes on to underline the 

car's merits and how it always outsold 

the Spridget . . . and indeed how the 

Spitfire helped power the lasr of the 

Midgets. But it doesn't srop ar rhe Spirfire. 

As the book's title suggests the 

GT6 - the poor man's E-type - comes 

under scrutiny, as do some of the more 

recent kitcars rhat use the Herald/Spitfire 

chassis. 

CasioCaption 

Competition 

The sight of Stirling Moss in cricketing garb 

brought many responses from you all - invariably 

with either Moss or the wicket keeper 

(Chris Amon?) uttering the word 'bails' at 

being run out or dropping the catch respectively. 

Another popular theme saw Stirling about 

to swot a fly, wasp or mossquito from the 

'keeper's head - thank you Mr Bradley ol 

Thettord, Norfolk for that last one - while Mr 

Goodfellow of Stoke-on-Trent adopted the 

role of sycophant with his: "lf you don't pick up 

that ball, I'll let you read my Cussrc auo SpoRr. 

scAR. Nice try! 

Both P. Beaumont and T. Weston came up 

with the theme that Moss would not be out - 

"He's good at batting along the straight". ln 

the end, however, we decided that this 

month's Casio watch should go to Graham 

Robinson of Bournemouth, Dorset, who combined 

cricketing and racing terms with: "Look 

out - pads worn - can't stop". The watch is on

Add an excellent chapter on the 

works race and rally cars, and here's a 

truly complete story of a car that has 

been on the end of too much knocking

Obviously this book's appeal must 

be limited, too, and it is really more a 

labour oflove than a professionally produced 

tome, but it makes for interesting 

reading nonetheless. Much use is 

made of old log books and other such 

sources and, where possible, the history 

of the earliest Land-Rovers is

be 'everything you ever wanted to 

know about the Daytona'. fhis model 

was, of course, the last of the great 

front-engined Ferraris, if you regard 

the 400 as more of a bouleoadier. 

If nothing else, the Daytona was one 

of the most charismatic of an ultracharismatic 

marque. The authors have 

done a good, comprehensive study of 

the model, starting with its antecedents, 

taking the story through the prototype 

and styling changes, the car's 

competition history, and include two 

chapters headed'How to Buy One'and 

'How to Live Vith One': the first of 

these starts 'Buying a Daytona should 

take a good deal of time. Moreover 

some money must be spent in making 

the decision', the second with 'One regrettable 

aspect of owning a 365 GTB/4 

is the fact that you will be seduced into 

doing things that border on insanity'.

Auto Replica's oosion of the Morgan Plus 8 

- thqt make others aswell 

This month's models 

Glancing through the contents of this 

month's issue, quite a few of the cars 

featured are available in model or kit 

form. 

Take Morgans, for example. Auto 

Replicas (BKL Developments, 23 

Bailey Crescent, Poole, Dorset BHl5 

3EZ) offer a variety of l/43 white metal 

kits. There is a 1939 flat-rad tourer, a 

1950 Coupd (also flat-rad), a 1964 fourseater 

and a Plus 8: the last-named, 

shown here, is in the course ofeditorial 

construction. All cost 16.90 inc VAT, 

but add five per cent for postage. Western 

Models also make a 1951 flat-rad 

Plus 4, priced at t10.87 inc VAT, - 

\VM are at Morris Road, South Nutfield, 

Redhill, Surrey RH I 5SD. There 

is also a large (l/16) plastic kit of the 

Plus 8, made by L & S, and Priced at 

about fl l. 

You can come very close to conducting 

your own back to back, too, with 

models from one manufacturer - 

Mikansue (15 Bell Lane, Eton \Wick, 

Windsor, Berks SL4 6LQ). For t7.95 

inc VAT you can buy yourselfa l/43 kit 

of the Alvis TC2l/100, and come close 

Beehl'sonwheels 

If you're going to collect models 

seriously, you either have to be a iournalist 

and get them for review (!), be 

very rich, or work for a good model 

shop. Nathan Beehl isn't a full-time 

scribe, claims to be poverty stricken, 

but does work for Brian HarveY's 

Grand Prix Model establishment 

(which might explain the Poverty 

ctaim. . . !). 

He also has a splendid collection of 

model Ferraris. "I suppose about 150 

or so in l/43 scale, plus about 20 plastic 

kits and so on." We reckoned this had 

to be the biggest assembly of models of 

the marque around, but he denied this: 

"There are some people who own fullsized 

cars whose collections are much 

bigger: one I know must run into the

out of the business a couple of years 

ago, Motorkits. They used to offer a 

272-litreRMF. 

Ve cannot find anyone who offers 

the BRM P6l, but a few come close. 

Circuit Racers, also no longer with us,

Why Ferraris? "I suppose because if 

I didn't stick to one marque, the whole 

thing would get out of hand: I chose 

Ferrari, to be rational. My enthusiasm 

for the marque stems from the fact that 

their cars fust appealed - who's to say 

why someone prefers one car over 

another? I do remember seeing a Picture 

of a P3 on the front cover of a 

magazine back in the sixties, and fell in 

love with it immediately. There really 

is something about Ferraris, isn't 

there? Even when they were in the doldrums, 

around 1974, they still held 

their fascination for me. "

ll24 scale, version ofthe 1962 car

Incidentally, if you can't wait to get 

your hands on a DB6 Volante like the 

one we're giving away in our competition, 

then Mikansue (address above) 

can provide you with one for the 

princely sum of 07.95 inc VAT. Of 

course, it is also a l/43 white metal kit. 

racing (I never went through the 

Dinky/Corgi stage), and I reckon, if my 

memory is right, it was probably a Supershell 

158 or something like that - 

perhaps a Revell 250GTO. But when 

electric motors started costing t25 

each, my interest waned . 

"I turned to the big stuff - You 

know, Tamiyas and so on, and then in 

1974 I bought my first white metal kit - 

from Grand Prix Models . . . It was a 

Iohn Day version of the 31283, and I 

bought it because it was a model ofa car 

actually racing at the time - most models 

are out ofdate when they appear. 

"After that I started concentrating 

on the l/43 kits, but still collect the bigger 

stuff- llfz,1124, and 1/12. In the 

larger scales it's mainly the GP cars. 

My own personal opinion - and it rs a 

personal opinion - is that the GP cars 

don't look quite so impressive in 1/43. I 

don't know - it's something about their 

colour scheme, maybe. 

"My favourite of all must be the P4, 

although in the small scale the competition 

Boxers take some beating, don't 

they?" 

Rarities? "rVell, I've got a few really 

awful ones! There's a Lusso made in 

Russia, and another plastic-bodied, 

friction-motored 275GTB from the 

same country - strange the fascination 

the Russians have for such a decadent, 

capitalistic car!"

3 y2 years ago - "I made such a nuisance

One of the most prolific model manufacturers 

around is Western Models 

and, as we've said often enough before, 

their products rate amongst the highest 

in the world. Their latest release is this 

magnificent Ferrari 246GT Dino, 

priced at f21.39 built, f13.63 in kit 

form. The only criticism our resident 

Ferrari experts could find concerned 

the heaviness of the side-window surrounds 

- but, at l/43 scale, they would 

be very delicate indeed if made to the 

appropriate thickness. Other than that 

we cannot fault it at all.

his iob involves being Assistant Editor 

to Brian on GPM's magazine, Four 

Small Wheels, so he can claim to be a 

part-time iournalist as well. He was 

also one of the more prominent (of the 

few) members of the Ferrari Model 

Club, and helped produce a check list 

of all known Ferrari miniatures "But 

that was a couple ofyears ago: it's way 

out of date now." 

Finally, Nathan also collects Ferrari 

books. "I suppose I must have iust about 

every book - in English at least - on 

the make. How many? About 60, I 

reckon." 

Nathan suffers from a serious complaint 

- Ferrari mania. But he's quite 

happy. And one day, when he's unbelievably 

rich, he's going to have a Daytona

Carsonshow 

Anyone who has kept watch on the 

motoring press correspondence columns 

of late will have noticed a long 

and somewhat involved letter, penned 

by John Oliver, the secretary of the 

Singer Owners Club. 

In abbreviated form John's letter 

reads as follows: 'The Singer Owners 

Club and many other clubs with whom 

we have discussed the problem are concerned 

that the proliferation ofexhibitions 

both large and small up and down 

the country is placing an unreasonable 

financial burden on club members who 

are keen to exhibit their cars to the public. 

These owners wish to exhibit their 

cars not only for their own satisfaction, 

but also to further the already sympathetic 

climate enfoyed by old cars in 

this country, yet rhey are generally denied 

by the exhibition organisers any 

recompense for their efforts.' 

John Oliver's letter then quotes this 

year's'Classic Car'show in Brighton, a 

lengthy three-day event that necessitates 

hotel accommodation and insurance 

cover for the club's vehicles on top 

of the cost of providing the stand with 

electricity and furnishing the stand itself. 

At a conservative estimate John 

reckons the show will cost each club a 

minimumof!350. 

Following the refusal of the organisers 

of the Brighton 'Classic Car' show 

to provide the Singer Owners Club 

with a token payment to offset the cost 

of exhibiting three club cars for three 

Badtidings 

Predictably, last month's lead story on 

Barry Clarke's Bad Car Club created 

quite some interest, some readers taking 

the club seriously, others adopting 

the opposite view entirely (see letters 

page). lVe, on the other hand, considered 

the idea quite funny! 

One individual actually offered the 

opinion thar rhe scruffy Austin cstate 

shown as a possible BCC candidate 

wouldn't do at all as it wasn't nearly 

bad enough. In fact we have to come 

clean here - the machine illustrated was 

a highly modified Q-car (there's a special 

item on the car on page 7) but 

would a standard version be eligible? 

'Horror' cars so far include the 

Varszawa 223, Reliant Regal, Chrysler 

Avenger, Hindustan Ambassador, MG 

Midget and assorted Skoda models.

newsletter gave them a genrle ribbing)

Peter Nunn rorurdsupthe latest news from clubland 

days, John felt obliged to draw up an 

invoice for f,135, which breaks down as 

follows: 'To cost of providing each club 

car -125 (f75 total); to cost ofproviding 

stand with electrical power-!40; to 

cost ofproviding a table and four chairs 

-f20.' 

Are John Oliver and his Singer Owners 

Club colleagues being unreasonable 

in their quest or do they have a valid 

case? rWhen one learns that the organisers 

of a forthcoming 'classic car' show 

in Milan (admitedly not in the Brighron 

league) have offered free accommodation 

and catering to exhibitors, the picture 

becomes perhaps slightly clearer. 

On the other hand, for the Brighton 

Show organisers ro meet the SOC's 

(and other clubs') financial demands in 

full might leave them with the unpalatable 

prospect ofa t10,000 plus outlay 

before the show had even begun. 

"We did hear," commented John 

Oliver when we telephoned him recenrly, 

"that if Brighton was successful, 

some of the profits might be shared out 

equally among the clubs to help keep 

costs down but I've yet to hear anything 

official on that score. lVhat I do 

know is that it's becoming increasingly 

difficult to find people willing to rake 

the time and trouble to exhibit their 

cars. Three days, after all, is a long 

time." 

If the club was unsuccessful in its 

crusade, would the committee consider 

returning to next year's 'Classic Car' 

show, assuming it was arranged along 

the same lines as the 1982 evenr? "Well 

sportingly senr in his own list of pet 

hates but since his letter only covers rhe 

'bad' points of certain cars - the prewar 

Austin Seven, we learn, had an 

abysmal braking system - he has not 

quite grasped the raison d'etre of the 

BCC. 

For a car to be accepted by the club, 

it must be basically bad, nor lust boring 

or dull. r0flith the sole exception ofgross 

over-restoration, acquired characteristics 

are not considered suflicient. 'A 

really acceptable bad car' writes Barry 

Clarke, 'must have been bad from the 

moment it left its misguided manufacturer's 

premises. 

'rf(/e are sorry to disappoint all those 

owners of oil-burning, clutch-slipping 

rusty air which were once Minis or Cortinas 

but I'm afraid rhey are not eligible. 

We do feel, however, that an 850cc 

Mini automatic estare, preferably with 

a dnted windscreen, might well be permissable.' 

Don't forget - keep those hit-list top 

tens coming . .

S hould the exhibitors at' classic car' shows receioe Jinancial suppol from the 

we couldn't really, could we? !fle 

would have to put a stop to it which 

would be sad for all concerned. 

Perhaps if the organisers provided 

some form of discount on accommodation

even bed and breakfast terms at a reduced 

rate - something along those 

lines would defrnitely be a step in the 

right direction. If some allowance was 

made for stand electricity as well, 

everyone would be much, much happier 

!" 

!7e have two further, sensible suggestions 

to make. Limit any show ro 

iust two days' duration and initiate 

some form of enthusiast club 'pool' 

whereby specialist clubs each pur forward 

a set sum to defray these hidden 

exhibition costs. If the scheme was 

operated on a sliding scale, with the 

more affluent clubs contributing more 

than their tinier counterparts, this 

potentially explosive situation could be 

defused quite effectively.

one?

\fiorldoflotus 

Lotus enthusiasts now have the opportunity 

to join a new marque club, one 

initiated and organised officially by the 

Lotus factory in Hethel. 

Called Club Team Lotus, the proiect 

was launched in April of this year 

with remarkably little publicity. 

Nevertheless we hear that membership 

(spread throughout some 26 worldwide 

countries) is pegged currently at 

the 587 mark, subscriptions standing at 

015 per year (UK) and !18 (overseas). 

Benefits include copies of the glossy 

up-market newspaper Lotus tYorld 12 

times a year, a range of exclusive club 

clothing, photographs and accessories, 

factory tours and discounts on spares 

for out-of-production Loti. In fact 

since November l, Club Team Lotus 

have been offering a 20 per cent discount 

on parts for Lotus cars built prior 

to the current range. For details of this 

offer or any matter relating to Club 

Team Lotus, write to the club office at 

Hethel, Norwich, Norfolk NR148EZ. 

Vhile the editionof LotuslVorld senr 

to this column seems to consist mainly 

of Grand Prix news - there's a lavish 

report in colour on the team's progress 

during the Austrian Grand Prix - the 

more down-to-earth aspects of club life 

are not ignored by the paper. One item 

that caught our eye in an earlier edition 

concerned the Post House Hotel in 

Hethel which until February '83 will 

offer a 30 per cent discount to cardcarrying 

CTL members. 

Although this new club venture is 

totally separate from Club Lotus, the 

ts 

,*\t**-*\* 

'Classic' Lotus dizters should keep May 8, l98j clear in their diaries, when Donington hosts a huge'lYorld of Lotus' fenioal 

two will join forces for a huge all-Lotus 

meeting at Donington next summer. 

The occasion, which goes by the title of 

''fhe World of Lotus Day', occurs on 

May 8 and hopes to attract examples of 

every possible type ofLotus, beginning 

XE** 

from the very earliest days for a special 

cavalcade. CTL plan to show, if possible, 

one of every type of Lotus produced 

by the factory - a bold idea in our 

view but will they be able to track down 

the Mark I Lotus, an Austin Seven 

Special registered PK 3493? Surely this 

one can't ex.ist any more - or does it? 

For their part, Club Lolus have 

already pencilled in some fixtures for 

'83. A special weekend rally will take 

place, starting on April 9, at the Jim 

Clark Museum in Duns, Scotland, 

while Castle Coombe will host another 

club Test Weekend over April Z9llday 

l. Various service seminars have also 

been arranged - call the club office on 

Derham 4459 for further details.

It's encouraging to be proved right on 

occasions: in response to October's 

What's On column preview of the 

September Jaguar Mk II rally in Vest 

Germany, which ended with the comment 

'could be good', we've recently 

heard from Thomas Muhs (representing 

Jaguar Association Germany, the 

organising club) who confirmed that 

the rally really was very goodl 

Jaguar Mk II owners and enthusiasts 

from several parts of Europe met up at 

the former Solitude race circuit over 

September 17119 f.or the third annual 

Suebian Mk II rally. Participants, 

writes Thomas Muhs, came from all 

over Germany, from Switzerland, Holland 

and France although sadly it 

seems no-one went over from the UK 

for the event. Activities ranged from a 

gymkhana/slalom test to a parts market, 

concours d'elegance and other 

'disciplines' . . . The distance prize 

was awarded to an enthusiast from 

Paris, the longevity cup to a Mk II dat-

If the products of the Ford Motor Company's 

now defunct AVO operation are 

your forte (that is, the Escort Mexico, 

RS 1600, RS 2000, Twin Cam and Capri 

RS 3100), then membership of the 

enthusiastic Ford AVO Owners Club 

must surely be a good idea. 

For details of the group, though, 

don't write to club founder Mark 

Smith at Aylesbury since he has recently 

relinquished the post of official 

secretary. For the record, the posl is 

now held by Peter Villiams of 67 Rolls

TRtopics 

TR Register members have certainlv 

been active over the past few months. 

Since early September, International 

TR Weekend, a special tour of the 

Lake District and STIR VII (a biannual 

UK meering of Triumph and 

Standard clubs) have all taken place, as 

have various TR-style hillclimbs, aurotests 

and track events. 

Over the first weekend in September 

International TR Weekend took place 

at the Three Counties Showground, 

Malvern, and a recent release tells us 

that the gentleman (far right) and his 

TR4 were the winning combination in 

the concours d'elegance contest. Geoff 

Palmer's all-conquering 1962 TR not 

only won its class, it was also awarded 

the Jim Hawkins trophy for the TR 

with the cleanest interior; other prizes 

included a trophy for the best TR4/4A 

and the BL Premier Award for the 

finest TR (spanning all categories). 

This remarkable car could only manage 

second place, though, in STIR 

VII's concours d'elegance, being 

beaten into second place by the outstandingly 

original Mk I Spirfire belonging 

to a certain R. Collins. Ginny 

Soden of the TR Register reporrs that 

this car which has been in the Collins 

family since new, has completed just 

6200 miles since 1966/67. lVhen asked 

about his prepararion for the STIR 

event, the Spitfire's entrant commented 

simply: "I just polished it for 

the day". Third place in the proceedings 

went to the late-entered 1969 

Triumph 2000 owned by James 

McCulloch of Cranleigh. Surrey. 

The venue for STIR VII, Rousham 

House, near Oxford, provided a nearperfect 

setting for the many Triumph 

and Standard cars present, the clear 

weather attracting several hundred enthusiasts 

and plenty of interesting cars 

such as the X-registered 'friumph 

Italia that parked next to the Palmer 

TR4 in the concours line-up. STIR 

VIII (or Standard Triumph International 

Rally number eight) has been 

booked provisionally for May 1983, the 

event to take place at a suitable location 

in Holland. Although previous STIRs 

have alternated between the UK and 

America, a continenral rally along the 

Rousham House lines could be a great 

success. Watch this space for further 

details.

Borqrvards abroad 

Borgwards, Hansas, Goliaths and 

Lloyds in their dozens converged on 

the German city of Bremen back in 

September, when the Borgward Enthusiasts 

Club organised another of 

their international two-day rallies. 

The choice of Bremen as a rally 

venue was entirely appropriate since 

Carl Borgward's factory was based 

there between 1939 and 1961. Following 

the company's financial collapse, 

production continued in limited form 

in Germany via a small company that 

had acquired large stocks of original 

factory parts - and in Mexico (from 

1967-1970) when an obscure outlet 

based in Monterrey assumed the manufacturing 

rights of the 2.3-litre Grosse 

Borgward. During its official 22 years 

of existence, the privately-owned Borgward 

concern (the last automobile factory 

of its type in Germany) produced 

vehicles bearing the Hansa, Goliath 

and Lloyd names - and examples of all 

these marques, together with proud 

owners, were present in Bremen. 

This eighth Borgward club meeting, 

which was co-sponsored by Daimler- 

Benz - the current occupiers of the former 

works factories - drew a record 

number of cars; our reporter stopped 

counting after the 200th had arrived, 

and there were more to come. The differing 

styles of Borgward'product' was 

self-evident, it being hard to accept 

that the Goliath three-wheelers, 'no 

frills, no thrills' Lloyds and Borgward 

Arabella (unkindly nicknamed 

Aquabella because it took in so much 

rain water) and Isabella models were all 

created under the direct supervision of 

Carl Borgward himself. 

Among the more interesting participants, 

we particularly liked the sman 

l493cc Isabella drophead coup6 and 

1949 Hansa 1500 four-door saloon that 

took part in the rally. Imposing preand 

post-war commercials representing 

the Borgward and Goliath marques 

were also prominently displayed. In 

Germany, the Borgward-Lloyd- 

Goliath Enthusiasts Club can be contacted 

c/o Herr Hartmut Loges, Paul- 

Goerens-Strasse 30,4300 Essen I while 

here in the UK, Robert Richmond- 

Jones of 22 Warburton Road, Canford 

Heath, Poole, Dorset handles Borgward 

club matters.

Can it be co-incidence that in this, its 

final year of UK production, the eccentric 

yet loveable Citro6n Dyane shows 

finally the first signs of accepted 'classic'car 

status? 

Andrew Minney, one of 2CVGB's 

local group leaders (he looks after the 

affairs of Twickenham's Thames rVheel 

Dippers . . .) is an enthusiast, keen to 

start a Dyane owners register. Provisionally, 

the project will go by the 

name of the Dyane 10/82 Register and 

will be run in two parts. The first will 

concern narrow bumper cars built prior 

to 1974 while cars manufactured after 

that date (which have what Andrew 

amusingly describes as 'truck bumpers') 

will be covered by means of the 

latter section. 

In a recent note, Andrew outlined the 

form he would like the Register to take. 

'I would like owners to supply details of 

their Dyane- registration number, official 

colour, mileage and so on, together 

with a few lines on the car's life history.

Any ideas on how to progress or possible

Asyet thereis nomembership fee. 

'Cars of particular interest would be 

the very early (1967) Dyanes, the ones 

with six volt electrics, 425cc engines and 

2CV running gear.' If you happen to 

have one of these, write to Andrew at 

Flat 10, Belmont House, 30 Belmont 

Road, Twickenham, Middlesex TW2 

5DA. Owners of more common-Place 

cars will of course be made welcome. 

Meanwhile, stand by for four days of 

uninhibited twin pot madness next 

summer when the lifth International 

2CV rally takes place in Xanten, West 

Germany. Regular Old Motor readers 

will recall that a report of the last such 

rally (which occurred at Zedelgem, Belgium 

in l98l) highlighted some of the 

2CV Club's unorthodox behaviour - 

custard pie throwing contests from passing 

2CVs and suchlike. The frfth International 

over July 23 I 27 1983 wlll 

doubtless continue this theme and 

attract an inordinate number of bizarre

O Pre-war Ford Model Ys (of the type 

featured in September's C&S) are 

eligible, reader Keith Burton reminds 

us, for the 200-strong Model Y & C 

Register as well as the Ford Sidevalve 

Owners Club. The Register, which 

welcomes both owners and enthusiasts, 

carries a large spares/replacement body 

panel stock and issues a topical club 

magazine every quarter. Further details 

from secretary Iill Miles, l5 Rydal 

Gardens, Wembley, Middx. 

O The Jaguar Drivers Club are organising 

another of their popular trips 

abroad next year. Between June 4/14, 

the E-type Register will be visiting 

Altmunster, Austria, clrrb director 

Mike Cooper having carried out a'dry 

run' to set the scene earlier this year. 

George Gibbs of Burghclere Grange, 

Harts Lane, Burghclere, near Newbury, 

Berkshire has more information. 

O Nigel Patten of 4 Krooner Road, 

Camberley, Surrey has been appointed 

secretary of the seemingly reticent Renault 

Owners Club. A full programme 

of varied events plus registers for some 

ofthe older cars (4CVs, Caravelles, R8s 

and so on) are promised for'83. Membership 

details are available from Mrs 

E.G. Talbot,9 Benton Close, Cressing, 

Braintree, Essex CM7 SHE. 

O Own a Triumph Vitesse? If so, 

Andy Jones - the Triumph Sports Six 

Club's new International Vitesse Register 

secretary - would like to hear from 

you. Write to him at 16 Wyver Crescent, 

Stoke, Coventry CV2 5LQ enclosing 

your car's vital statistics. 

O Now this is ridiculous. According to 

the latest edition of the Alfa Romeo 

200012600 Register newsletter (always 

a good read), some bright spark is 

asking f20,000 for the ex-John Lennon 

2600. At that price, it must surely be 

one to be avoided . . . 

O Spotted in a Standard Motor Club 

newsletter: 'It may be useful for members 

to know that the shock absorbers 

fitted to the front of all Moskvichs in 

this country are identical to those fitted 

to the front of the Standard 8/10 models. 

It is rumoured that they share some 

other parts as well. It could be embarrassing 

though, asking for parts for a 

Moskvich - the looks that some people 

giveyou.' 

O The Bentley Drivers Club plan to 

ioin forces with the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts 

Club for a foint Derby Day 

rally over June l8/19 next year. 

O The Allesley Post House Hotel, Rye 

Hill, Allesley, Coventry will host the 

Triumph Stag Owners Club AGM and 

Christmas Party over December I l/12. 

Club secretary Val Gaffney (of 146 

Fortheringham Road, Bush Hill Park, 

Enfield, Middlesex) has the necessary 

details. 

O It's hard to believe but Joachin 

Elsner drove his Isetta a total of 120I 

miles to win the Foreign Distance 

award at the recent Dorsington Manor 

National Micro Car rally. A total of 170 

micros took part in the event. 

O The Historic Commercial Vehicle 

Society (no longer a 'club', note) intends 

to celebrate its 25th anniversary 

with a special weekend meeting next 

summer. The venue will be Donington 

and the date - provisional at present - 

July l5/16. A four-day rally in the Isle 

of Man has also been arranged for summer 

1983.

It 

(HO2 OHV). Fastest of the old-school 

Gregoire-based alloy llat-twins, with hydraulic 

brakes, and crash 'boxes on earlier ones. 

Fast (70-75mph) and exciting, but said to be 

good at selecting two gears at a time. Much 

more lun than Minors, 4CVs, and Topolino, 

but hardly any in Britain. 

t, 

- 

hyromech brakes, and twin 7%-gallon wingmounted 

tanks on late ones giving a 400-mile 

range. Engines and gearboxes stock Ford 

(Prefect, Consul) but floor change always 

standard. Saloons from '55. Bedlordshire 

cars have BMW-style grilles. 

PEEL 

transaxle of de Dion type, inboard rear brakes 

and the most complicated sleering linkages 

ever seen. With the 3.2 engin€ and twin 

blowers, 285bhp said to be available. A plugeater, 

but also the ultimate in fifties exotica. 

PEUGEOT

CARIBBEAN. 1954 (prod: 400). Convertible. 

F/R, 5879cc (SB SV). Last f towering ol 

the good old nine-bearing straight-eight (born 

1 923), now giving an astonishing 21 2bhp. 

Styled by a hearse builder, 220ins long, ptus 

genuine wire wheels, automatic, and power 

brakes/steering/windows/seats. There's 

even a Continental spare wheel, and the rear 

deck would make an rdeal 

CLIPPER CUSTOM. 1955-56 (prod: 

18,975).4-door sedan, hardtop coup6. F/R, 

5243cc (VB OHV). The one with the etectrically-wound, 

interconnected torsion-level 

suspension (extra in the USA). Wonderf ul 

ride, the rest ot it is typically American, though 

styling's unmistakably Packard. Manual and 

automalic versions, and the usual brake{ade 

headaches. Right-hand drive available. 

DYNA JUNIOR. 1952-55 (prod: 2000 

appror). 2-soater roadster. F/F, 845cc 

(H02 OHV). Mechanics as 120 satoon, but 

always synchro 'box, and box-section frame 

with tubularcross members. Ugly little beasl, 

but 1 3cM and a 40bhp twin-carb engine 

should spell early Spridget performance, and 

there's even more with the optional 60bhp 

supercharged version. 

PL1 7. 1 959-64 (prod: 1 30,000 approx). 

4-door saloon. F/F, 845cc (H02 OHV). Allsteelversion 

ot aluminium Dyna 54 (1954), 

almost never seen here. 75mph and 40mpg 

lor six people, but looks controversial and no 

rhdtill'59. Tigreof 1961 (twin chokecarb, 

60mph) is the best one. All-synchro 'box

and rearsublrames. Buyers provide

lamily saloon with indestructible hemi-head 

engine and even less destructible worm drive 

back end. Nasty column shitt and rather overgeared, 

but quite a lew have sliding roofs. 

Some interest in France already. Only

203 theme enlarged wilh the Pininfarina 

touch: bigger, roomier, tougherand slightly 

faster. Wagons trom 1 956 on usual extended 

wheelbase. Geared up top gives eftortless 

cruising, but column shitt has very odd action. 

Used to be quite common, but rusl has taken 

its toll. 

I 

HAWK. 1 958 (prod: 588). s-seater coup6. 

FlR,4727cc(Y8OHV). Last car to bearthe

bumpers, uglified front end, a centrilugally 

blown 275bhp V8, and (oh dear) a Chrysterstyle 

dustbin lid (mock spare wheel) at the 

back. Automatic, servo brakes and power

petrol, 2.1-litre diesel) also offered. 

re 

pushbutton automatic: bigger engine and 

two-door bodies 1 962 only. Drives quite 

nicely, and not enough power to make brake

Chrysler's answer to the Mustang, and styllng

4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop, club coup6, 

convertible, station wagon. F/R, 4250cc/ 

4500cc (V8 OHV). Chrysler Corporation's 

long overdue Flightsweep look, and Plymouth's 

first V8, not a hemi, ol course, on a 

1 1 Sins wheelbase. Rhd cars will be sedans, 

manual or automatic available though avoid 

latter in '56, it's got horrible pushbutton 

control. All the other power options but tame 

as VBs go: even the 1 956 4 72-litre otfers no 

more lhan 200bhp. 

FURY lll. 1 965-68 (prod: 474,826). 4-dool

6276cc (V8 OHV). The last of the big 

American Plymouths regularly sold here, and 

it's 213ins long (wagons are even longer). 

Powersteering and automatic standard, but 

not front discs, though you get a servo with the 

standard drums. No disc option at allon '65s. 

Flarest of all is the '66 convertible (4326 

made). 

PONTIAC 

I 

STAR CHIEF. 1958 (prod: 27,128).4-dool 

sedan, 2-door hardtop, 4-door hardtop. 

F/R, 5690cc (VB OHV). The Silver Streaks 

have gone from the bonnet, but lhe famous 

performance image isn't there yet. Just a big 

lump ol iron with quad headlights, missile-like 

side llashes, and the period fins, though not 

too excessive, Hydramatic power brakes and 

power steering almost certain in UK. Later 

Pontiacs are more interesting. 

PARISIENNE. 1 962 (prod : N/A). 4-door 

sedan. F/R, 4638cc (Vg OHV). Typical of the 

right-hook Canadian Pontiacs imported lrom 

'55 0n. Not a Pontiac at all, but a tull-size 

Chevrolet with Pontiac grille and trimmings. 

Package includes two-speed Powerglide, 

power drum brakes and power steering, plus 

quad headlights and a virtually pillarless 

body. 95-1 00mph, 1 7mpg, the usual brake 

fade problems, and US citizens won't know 

what it is.

356. 1950-55 (prod:7627). Coup6, cabriolet. 

FyR, 1 287ccl1 290cc/1 488cc (H04 

OHV). The VW-based sports car that corners 

10mph faster than its competition. UK sales 

start late '53, so expect 2LS brakes, allsynchro 

'boxes and 1 2-volt electrics on anything 

you buy here. 1 1 00 unit not markeled in 

Britain, 1290 unit replaces 1287 during'54. 

Most powertul variant is the 1500 Super 

(70bhp).

356A. 1955-59 (prod: 21,045 all types). 

Coup6, cabriolet, hardtop coup6. R/R, 

1582cc (H04 OHV). Panoramic windscrsen, 

stiffer lront suspension and a steering damper 

(important) the main changes. 1300s in 

Germany, but UK sales limited to 60bhp 

standard 1 600, and 75bhp Super, latter with 

roller bearing crankshaft. Supers do over 

1 00mph and 0-60 in 1 5.3secs.

barchetta-style screen that all the replicarmerchants 

reproduce on stock VW lloorpans, 

The real McCoy is hard to f ind. On all356s, 

watch tor rust inside the tront wings, and

CONCLUSIONS 

One of the advantages of monitoring advertised prices in 

this way, is that it becomes easier to spot potential bargains. 

And this month it seems that the underrated Audi 

100 Coupe comes into that category. We have already 

featured the car in our Spot Check (CES, Septembe0 and 

believe that despite the relatively high cost ol spare parts, 

the car represents a cheap modern classic that, one day, 

willappreciate. But not yet it seems. 

Since the Price Guide began in April this year, the monitored 

value of the sleek Audi has dropped like a stone, 

The reason? P€rhaps it is those highly priced spare parts, 

but perhaps it is because the car is too modern to be 

regarded as a classic just yet . . . either way, keep a look 

out for a good example. 

News on the prices front otherwise shows that many 

have evened out, with most marque changes being less 

than 2 per cent either way. The moral? Buying an older car 

lor everyday use will not bring you an instanl lortune. But 

then, you knew that already . . . 

PAI{THER LIIVIA 

It is ironic that, as we go to press, the news is that 

John Delorean has been arrested on drugs charges - 

and, far more depressingly, his factory is to close 

after the British government has invested !80 million 

in the prolect. 

The irony is thar Panther's ex-MD, Bob Jankel, 

wanted to set up a similar operation in Ulster, and 

was looking for a mere f I million to do so: the car he 

wanted to produce was the Lima. The Lima (now the 

Kallista) lives: the Delorean is dead. 

The Lima was born out of Jankel's desire to make a 

much more down-market machine than the classy 

and viciously expensive J72s and De Villes. The two 

bigger models were good sellers, but had a very 

restricted clientele - price alone ensured that. Bob 

couldn't take on the TRs and Fiat X1/9s, but as 

Panther had built their reputation on replicas built to 

Rolls-Royce quality standards, he could aim at the 

anachronistic Morgan/Caterham 7 field. 

He was fortunate in that he had a good working 

relationship with Vauxhall and thus the basis of the 

Lima was almost pure Luton. Complete Magnum 

2300 floor pan, engine, transmission, front and rear 

suspension, steering and brakes were used. Mind 

you, look closely and you'll find other 

manufacturers' products as well, such as MG Midget 

doors . . . 

Onto this was mounted a square-tube superstructure, 

boxed in at stress points, and clothing it 

was a high-quality glass-fibre body. The shape was 

vaguely thirty-ish, and "evocation of an era rather 

than a copy ofreplica" as Bob put it. As ever, beauty 

is in the eye of the beholder, but if the Lima was no 

great beauty, it was no uglier than many others of its 

ilk. In particular, ifthe choice ofcolour was right, the 

(highly necessary!) front spoiler was well disguised. 

The handling was well sorted, and it would give a 

Morgan or Caterham 7 a run for their money on 

smooth roads, and leave them far behind on rougher 

surfaces. The accelerative performance, particularly 

with the optional DTV mods, and even more so with 

a turbo-charger fitted, was highly impressive 

(Autocar reached 60mph from a standstill in 6.7sec). 

Even with its highly unaerodynamic shape it was 

good for l20mph, too, in tuned form. Chris Meek 

used one to win his class in the CAV Prodsports 

championship in 1980, albeit against indifferent 

opposition. 

Negative points of the car can be summed up in 

one word - practicality. It isn't practical. The cockpit 

is minute, there is no luggage space, the spare wheel 

hung on the tail is highly vulnerable, the hood is a 

fi nger nail-breaking device. 

Vith a robust, well-protected chassis, resilient 

glass-fibre body, and spares available cheaply over 

the shelf, a Lima should be in good condition (it was 

only introduced, in 1977) so the most likely problem 

areas buying one secondhand will probably be 

accident damage (or expensive engine noises oq the 

hotter,convertidversions). \-=7 

FOR: Performance, roadholding and handling, 

spares availability, very high quality. 

AGAINST: Tiny cockpit, cheap-looking sections 

(Vauxhall Magnum facia) - looks?

Decembet 1972 

Although the'classic car'movement had not yet been 

sanctified by new magazines on the subject, more 

and more reminiscing features were beginning to 

appear among the 'establishment' outlets. Our time 

was about to come . . 

The most important new model of the month was 

certainly that instant 'classic', the Fiat Xl/9. Styled 

and partly-engineered by Bertone, the mid-engined 

Xl/9 featured a 1.3-litre Fiat 128 power pack, and a 

removable roofpanel. It looked so right (and it zuas so 

right) that one wondered why no British 

manufacturer had thought ofit first. 

Perhaps BMC/BL had, once, but they were 

already in financial straits, and contented themselves 

with the announcement that the three millionth Mini 

had now been built. Audi, however, had more to 

shout about, for their new front-drive 80 model had 

just been made Car of the Year by a group of 

European motoring magazines. 

Among the Italian exotica in the news was the de 

Tomaso Pantera, tested in Britain at no less than 

l59mph until it hit the rev-limiter of its stock Ford 

V8 engine, and the new Fiat 124 Abarth Spider, 

visually like the ordinary Spider but with 

independent rear suspension, glass-fibre panels, and 

a lot of rallying potential; homologation was 

promised for early 1973, and'works' participation 

thereafter. 

Chrysler completed its 100 per cent financial 

control of Chrysler UK (previously Rootes), from an 

existing 88 per cent holding, and - it seemed - the 

decline of Rootes then began. The Royal Automobile 

Club, on the other hand, were expanding well past 

1.5 million members and celebrated their 75th 

Anniversary. 

l600wins the RAC rally 

The sporting event was the RAC Rally. won by 

Roger Clark in his 'works' Ford Escort RSl600. It 

was an event of firsts - for Clark, for the Escort, and 

for the light-alloy 2-litre BDA engine - and was 

phenomenally popular. But do you recall who was 

second? Stig Blomqvist in aSaab V4. 

At the same dme, Kleber and BBC lVheelbase got 

together to award the first of their annual rallying 

'scholarships'. For 1973, this went to Chris Sclater, 

and comprised an ex-factory Escort RSl600, and 

f,21000-worth ofcash, tyres, or Ford parts to back the 

effort. 

All that was for real, but spoof reports in the 

motoring press of Emerson Fittipaldi's victory in the 

Icelandic 'Artic Million' race was not. Those 

believing that his mount was a Cosworth DFVengined 

four-wheel-drive Ford Capri, and that he 

raced on ice for more than six hours should have 

knownbetter...

llIhat happened this month in bygone years 

December 195? 

There were no important new models, but cars in the 

news included Alvis and Austin-Healey. BMC 

announced that to rationalise production facilities, 

Riley 1.5 saloons would henceforth be built at 

Longbridge alongside the Wolseley 1500, while the 

Big Healeys would take their place at Abingdon, and 

be built close by the MGAs. Abingdon, it seemed, 

was to become the centre of BMC sports car 

production (so what happened at the end of the 

seventies?). The limited scope of Alvis's car 

production became clear when Mr J.J. Parkes told 

the AGM of shareholders that only 30 Graber-styled 

cars had been built so far. (The deal with Park Vard 

was still un-announced). 

British car production was booming, with Ford 

and BMC both breaking output records. An 

Economist survey showed that BMC had built 

347,000 cars in a l2-month 195611957 period, 

compared with 268,000 by Ford, and 119,000 by 

Vauxhall. 

Sports cars were in the news. Tests of the latest 

Aston Martin DB Mk III showed up top speeds of 

Il9mph, while on the other hand the first Ford 

I00E-engined Lotus 7 could only make 76mph (and 

0-60mph in l7.8sec), even if the roadholding was 

quite supreme. Year end prices, incidentally, 

included a disc-braked Triumph TR3 for f,1021, a 

Jaguar XKl50 Coup6 for 81764, or (if you couldn't 

afford better) a Morris Minor I 000 for [62 5 . 

People in the news were Peter Lewis, who had just 

seen his new book Alf Francis - Racing Mechanic, 

published; Jean Behra and Harry Schell signing to 

drive for BRM in 1958; and a bespectacled young 

man called Stuart Turner winning the BTRDA's 

Gold Star navigator's award for the year. 'Pop' 

Landstad, who had been one of Lord Nuffield's 

earliest and closest associates, died at the age of77. 

There was little motor racing as such, but much 

activity. Colin Chapman announced that Lotus 

would take up Grand Prix racing in 1958, initially 

with modified and up-engined F2 cars, while Ferrari 

showed off his new Testa Rossa sports cars, complete 

with single-cam 300bhp Vl2 engines, ready for the 

3-litre limit races of 1958. Maserati, for its part, 

announced withdrawal from motor racing 

due to financial problems. Down to earth, literally, 

was the news that a new under-track tunnel was now 

being dug at Goodwood to give unrestricted access to 

the pits from outside the cicuit. 

neTL) 

thismonth 

More construction news was the letting of both 

digging contracts for the new Dartford tunnel, while 

it was also announced that 'double white line' 

experiments on the A3 were likely to be spread to 

other roads. Vhimsy of the month was the 

announcement of 'motor racing wallpaper' from 

John Vebb and Alan Foster, designed by Raymond 

Groves ofAzrosponand made by Sanderson.

I coupi: most 

There were no new models, but SS were advertising 

their revised SS I coup6 as 'The Most Beautiful Car of 

All', while Daimler were reminding the public of 

their fluid flywheel and preselector gearbox with the 

slogan 'Alone they were Good - Together they are 

Great'. Car production was building up all the time 

(shades of 1957) as the worst ofthe recession passed, 

Austin announcing that they had delivered more 

than 10,000 cars in the previous two months. 

Secondhand car prices were very low - in llte 

Autocar, for instance, there was a year-old 8Jitre 

Bentley with seven-seat Gurney Nutting limousine 

body style for t1350 - half price after only 12 

months. 

Meantime the 'Walna Scar' controversy 

continued. Some enthusiasts doubted if Morris cars 

had ever climbed this Lake District hill, but Miles 

Thomas of Morris Motors claimed that he had a cine 

film proving that two Morris lOs had made the ascent 

during pre-production trials.

George Eyston's Magic Midget: l20mph at Montlhiry 

The only actual motor sport was record breaking, 

and naturally George Eyston was the man involved. 

This time, at Montlh6ry, he achieved more than 

l20mph in the MG Magic Midget. One result of this 

was that MG now held, for the moment, eoery Class 

H International record in the world ! 

Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird rebuild was 

almost complete for 1933 Land Speed Record 

attempts, complete with Rolls-Royce R-Type Vl2 

engine (ex-Schneider Trophy) and a new style of 

Gurney Nutting body shell. Thomson and Taylor 

had done the iob, as usual, at Brooklands. 

Brooklands was also in the news as a result of Sir 

Harry 'Tim' Birkin's new (ghosted) book, Full 

Throttle, in which the writer had severely criticised 

Brooklands, and its facilities. This led to huffy legal 

action from the circuit authorities, and a hasty 

apology from Foulis, the publishers. Nevertheless, 

at 7/6 a copy, it was a best seller. 

For the Exeter Trial, due to be held at the very end 

ofthe Old Year, it was announced that a new section, 

now the legendary Fingle Bridge, was to be used for 

the first time. Another 'first'was the proposal, from 

the Isle of Man, for a new road circuit in the streets of 

Douglas and the running oftwo races to be known as 

the Mannin Moar and the Mannin Beg Events. 

The general feeling in the industry and in the 

media, was that the worst of the Depression was 

over, and that the atmosphere for motoring in 1933 

was much brighter than iihad been for years.t?
