By any standards, it was the first of the \"homologation specials\" - a type made progressively stronger, faster, more versatile, and more suitable for the world's toughest International rallies. Though the motorsport foundations had been laid by the Healey Motor Co. Ltd, the work needed to turn these cars into rock-sold 210bhp projectiles was almost all completed by the world-famous \"works\" BMC Competitions Department at Abingdon. It was because of their vast experience that the \"Big Healeys\" as they were always affectionately known - became fast and tough, nimble yet durable, so that they were capable of winning major events wherever traction could be assured. Not only did the \"works\" Austin Healeys win some of the world's most famous events - including Liege-Sofia-Liege, Spa-Sofia-Liege and the French and Austrian Alpine rallies, but they were also supremely fast on events like the Tulip, and came so close, so often, to winning their home event, the British RAC Rally, which traditionally ended the season. Not only did these cars turn their drivers - Pat Moss, Donald Morley, Rauno Aaltonen, Timo Makinen and Paddy Hopkirk among them - into heroes, but individual cars seemed to take on a character and reputation of their own. This book lists each and every success, each and every notable car, and traces exactly how the machinery developed, and improved, from one season to the next. Over time, the \"works\" cars not only adopted aluminium cylinder heads and body panels, much-modified chassis, transmission and exhaust systems, but they also became supremely strong and could withstand a true battering on the world's toughest events. \u003cstrong\u003eThis book relates how the cars were improved by the engineers, how the drivers came to love their heavy and sometimes self-willed steeds, and how the management team got the most out of everything - machinery, personnel, drivers, and regulations. . Heavily illustrated and packed with technical detail this book will make a welcome addition to any motorsport fans library.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn nine eventful years – 1957 to 1965 – the six-cylinder-engined Austin Healey evolved into a formidable and increasingly specialised rally car.

It was there that Healey showed his new car, the Healey 100, which so appealed to Sir Leonard Lord, the head of BMC, that before the show was over the two men entered into an agreement by which BMC would produce the car in volume. The Austin-Healey was born and the rest is history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat history was made to a significant extent by the motor-sporting achievements of the car. At the end of 1954 a high-performance version of the 100 — the 100S — was launched and it immediately made its mark in circuit racing and in the record books. When the six- cylinder version of the car — the 100-6 — was introduced the success continued.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut it was the 3000 — the next development of the six-cylinder Healey — that really put the car on the motor-sport map with its participation in rallies. Operated by the BMC Competitions Department at Abingdon, the 3000 rally cars achieved numerous successes between 1960 and 1964 at the hands of Pat Moss, the Morley brothers and Timo Makinen, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProduction of the 3000 ended in 1968, but this would not quite be the end of the story. The Healey SR\/XR37 raced at Le Mans three times and the Jensen Healey was built in collaboration with the Healey company in the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book tells the story of the big Healeys and the Jensen Healey in race and rally, both when the cars were new and as part of the historic scene. It includes detailed information on specific vehicles, with little-known cars raced by clubmen at one end of the scale and famous works record and rally cars at the other.

Drawing on the diaries, notebooks, photographs and films of both Donald and Geoffrey Healey to provide much previously unpublished material, it gives the complete story, corrects myths and misinformation, and answers questions raised by enthusiasts over the years. There are also fascinating insights into the Healeys' own father and son partnership and their 30-year involvement in the motor industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book covers the conception of the cars, their design, development, testing and manufacture, their speed record-breaking and competition successes (and failures), their sales promotion and — after the Austin Motor Company became part of BMC and British Leyland — their eventual demise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author puts the record straight on a number of misconceptions that have crept into Healey folklore, and makes clear that the so-called 'Healey luck' was nothing of the sort, but rather the result of rigorous preparation and the dedication of every member of the team. Nowhere was this more apparent than during the 1950s endurance and speed record attempts on the Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA, or in the special test vehicles that competed in the Mille Miglia, Le Mans 24-Hour and Sebring 12-Hour races.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTragically, Geoffrey Healey died after writing the first draft of this book.

The new models were hard to distinguish from their forebears by a cursory visual examination, but they incorporated one very significant improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis was a big-bore 2912cc version of the BMC six-cylinder engine. Not only was this more powerful than its 2638cc predecessor, but it was also more torquey. The result was that the Healey 3000 was faster through the gears and had a higher top speed than all of its standard-production forebears. In 1962, the triple-carburettor Mk. II version appeared, offering even more power but no real performance improvements from an engine that proved difficult to keep in tune. So the Mk. II convertible - with a proper soft top and 2+2 seating - reverted to twin carburettors, and the final Mk.III models introduced in 1964 looked to other means for their power increase. In their final years, the works Healeys became respected rally machines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 3000, durable as it was, could not last forever: production came to an end late in 1967, largely because of the cost of modifying the car to meet safety and exhaust emissions regulations due to be introduced in the USA during 1968.

Clarke\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn much the same manner as Henry Ford's Model T had earlier helped to put America on wheels, Herbert Austin's diminutive Seven was intended to bring motoring within the reach of everyone in Britain. Both of these historic cars have their own individual design and engineering idiosyncrasies but they are rightly regarded with great affection by countless enthusiasts around the world. The Austin Motor Company was established at Longbridge, Birmingham, in 1906 and during the period leading up to the outbreak of hostilities in 1914 produced a number of unremarkable, but reliable cars. The factory expanded at an amazing rate in World War One, producing massive amounts of munitions and military equipment as the workforce increased almost tenfold. Like so many other industrialists of the period, by 1918 Herbert Austin had become an incredibly wealthy person due to lucrative wartime contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmbracing the concept of mass production in order to keep the vast Longbridge plant viable, so in 1919 Austin introduced a slightly revamped version of the pre-war Twenty model. However, the Twenty was too expensive to sell in the quantities needed to keep the company profitable and by 1921 the business was in the hands of the receivers. Following a restructuring, Herbert Austin regained control and brought out the smaller Twelve in 1922. This was a very successful car which remained in production until 1935. Despite the good sales achieved by the Twelve, Austin decided that a cheaper, even more compact model was required. The task of designing this new car was given to eighteen-year-old Stanley Edge, a draughtsman who worked on the project at Herbert Austin's country house in order to avoid prying eyes at the factory. It was Edge who insisted on using a four-cylinder engine and he was responsible for creating the original quirky little open tourer which became universally known as the Austin Chummy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the spring of 1923 the engine capacity had been increased to 747cc (from 696cc) and it would stay the same size until production of the Seven came to an end in 1939. In the intervening years the specification evolved gradually as a variety of upgrades were incorporated to enhance the Seven's serviceability and performance. Body styles also proliferated, with various sports models and special saloons offered by a number of coachbuilders. From the outset the tiny Austin competed in races and rallies, winning awards for many years and overcoming the oft-quoted handicaps of its \"unpredictable road holding and indescribable brakes\" with aplomb. As a result of all this the Seven became a very fashionable car in the 1920s. The top-seller in its class, Herbert Austin's baby killed off practically every one of the cyclecars and lightweight models offered by rival manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImprovements to the Seven range continued throughout the 30s, with the introduction of a long wheelbase version and the arrival of the Ulster and Ruby models among the high points. The slightly larger Austin Ten made its debut in 1932 and, although noted more for its ruggedness than its rapidity, this model instantly became another chart-topper for the company. More rounder styling appeared across the board in 1937, but World War Two halted civilian car production and marked the end for both the Seven and the Ten.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTony Beadle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brooklands Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628349047004,"sku":"9781855208803","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/9781855208803__06666.1454564000.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772095882"},{"product_id":"metro-mark-steward","title":"Metro (Mark Steward)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Mark Steward, Softbound, 128 Pages, ISBN: 9781855321809, 1st Edition, 1991 - Second Hand book in good order !\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFOREWORD By Fred Coultas and Tony Pond\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeing born and bred within sight of the mighty Austin factory and having a strong engineering interest, it was almost inevitable that 1 should seek my fortune at Austin, the birthplace of many British thoroughbreds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the late 1950s I joined the engineering ranks, under the legendary lssigonis, during the latter years of Mini development.

Announced to wild acclaim in 1958, the Sprite was to remain in production, through four marque changes, for over twenty years, while its stable mate, the MG Midget, continues to this day. Sales for both models have exceeded 330,000, firmly establishing the tradition that sporting motoring does not have to be expensive.

So impatient was he that he took off with the little car bonnetless, shedding spanners and other loose bits as he went, returning triumphantly in due course.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSir Herbert was a worried man. The Company, like so many others, had fallen into recession, only his closest confidants would have known that he had been forced to seek temporary wage bill cover from an outside source. This small car was a make or break project and an enormous gamble in those days. After a quiet start it became an outstanding success and by 1925 it had ousted its major competitor, the motor cycle combination, providing motoring never before within reach of working class families.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSir Herbert's son-in-law Arthur Waite recognised the competition potential of the Seven and by 1923 he had a team of rather frail looking two seaters competing succestsfully at home and abroad. Later, other people produced Austin Seven competition cars including Gordon England with his Brooklands model. Looking at it as a schoolboy in 1925 fired my imagination. I saw it as the perfect racer!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMy father bought his first of many Sevens in that year. I taught myself to drive and in no time I was faster than my parent. Waiting to start my apprenticeship at I.ongbridge in 1927 I familiarised myself with the Seven's technical mysteries. Simplicity was the keynote, a fact which has helped both private motorists and competition entrants even to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI was promoted to the Racing Dept. at 20yrs and in answer to questions by Sir Herbert on my ambitions I said quite simply that I was sure I had the ability for race driving and I would strive to that end. I expect he thought I was mad. However when I did race successfully he always sent for me and said \"thank you for doing so much for the Company\" and so on. There was a good spirit at Longbridge then. People believed in the Austin and were proud to work there. How different it seems to be today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI visit Redual infrequently but when I do I usually visit the grave of Lord and Lady Austin in the little churchyard on Rose Hill. There is atmosphere there. I fancy I can hear the Grasshoppers screaming up the hill on test and I have recalled the day when I shot past the Old Man's gateway at 85 m.p.h. just as he appeared in his Clifton 12 h.p. tourer. The rollicking 1 sustained when he found me is still fresh in my mind. If one did not argue he soon got over it. He was a hard man but behind it all there were the normal human frailties and I liked him.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI drove all the competition cars culminating in the Jamieson twin cam which was a wonderful car.

It is therefore fortunate that we had people like Bill Boddy around with vision to get things moving.

This condition produced Colin Chapman. The early Marks of his famous Lotus were modified Austin 7's to which Colin applied his considerable technical flair in terms of better handling and increased power. Colin Chapman has achieved more for British motor racing than any of his contemporaries in the post war period.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVintage events have kept the Ulsters alive, and development continues to this day. During 1981 we witnessed the \"invasion\" from Australia of five young men with single seaters beautifully prepared. All who saw them were impressed by the technical excellence and back up equipment. They were out to show the Poms a thing or two and they did so. I am sure the example will result in similar developments over here in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis little book will help to keep the name Austin to the forefront.

Both designs were the work of Alec Issigonis and featured transverse engines with the gearbox in the sump, driving the front wheels, groundbreaking technology at the time which has been universally adopted since, though not the gearbox in the sump. A further revolution was the suspension; the Mini had progressive springing by rubber cones, the work of rubber technician Dr. Alex Moulton which, together with rack-and-pinion steering, was responsible for the Mini’s incredible road-holding. The larger Morris\/Austin 1100 series cars were fitted with a developed version named “Hydrolastic”. Suspension was still by Dr. Moulton’s rubber cones, but associated with a chamber filled with water and antifreeze and incorporating damper valves, which was connected to similar rear units via pipes and was a form of self-levelling.
