Jim,

The C-Series-engined Austins  Called ( SIX Westminsters to distinguish them
from the A-90 Atlantic) had a colourful transmission history:


-1954:   A-90 -new Morris designed six cyl motor- 85 bhp with single Zenith
carb- 4 speed column shift, O/D optional

-spring 1956:   A-105 - same motor as Austin-Healey- 102 bhp with twin SU's- 4
speed column shift, O/D optional

-fall 1956 to 1959:      A-95, A-105 - 4 speed column shift with O/D standard,
Borg Warner O/D optional

-summer 1959:    A-99 - almost the same motor as Austin-Healey 3000 with twin
S.U's but 103 bhp, - THREE speed transmission (with Porsche-developed synchros
on all speeds)  with O/D on second and third, Borg Warner automatic optional

-1961:   A-110 - twin exhaust gave 120 bhp, now floor change for same three
speed plus 2  O/D box, although  Police cars had Healey 4-speed side shift
boxes. Borg Warner automatic optional.
