Obviously the very model of a modern Major General.   ;-)

A friend of mine’s dad had the MG version of the 1300. BRG
.looked nice and
went well. Sadly, said friend and I took it out to a pub one night and
wrecked it on the way home. Actually, we were not at all drunk. It was
absolutely pouring with rain and, driving down a steep lane with banks on
both side, he aquaplaned it quite spectacularly. We spun round and round.
Seemingly, on each revolution, a startled oncoming driver would miraculously
miss us. It was 50% inexperience, 50% stupidity. The devil looks after his
own! I guess we were about 18 yrs old. Dangerous age.

The dad was a Major General and could be quite fierce but he took it
surprisingly well!!

Charlie,

 

The Austin and Morris 1100s and 1300s were very popular compact BMC
four-door saloons in the sixties and seventies.

MG badged them too.  A friend had one with twin S.U.s  It was a fun car.

They all had 'hydrolastic' suspension.  You can check that out on Google.

 

Thousands were assembled CKD right here in Auckland by the Dominion Motor
Company.

Gary,

 

I'm looking for a workshop manual for my AH 100 BN1. What does the BMC
1100-1300 cover? Thanks.

 

Regards,

 

Charlie

I've got original loose-leaf binder workshop manuals for "BMC 1100-1300" and
"Jaguar 3.4/3.8 S." Would anyone have any interest in them for the cost of a
priority box for mailing?
