The original 1973 Robin was powered by a 750cc engine that yielded 32 bhp and came in three body styles, Saloon, Estate and Van. The Saloon and Estate were available as standard models or as “Super” models, such as the one seen here, that included extras like (would you believe) additional dash clocks and uprated radio. In 1975 the engine was uprated to a larger 40 bhp 850cc engine giving a top speed of 85 mph and a 0 - 60 mph time of 16.1 seconds. Source: www.reliantownersclub.co.uk/robin.html

25 Sep 2011 553
The Morris Minor is a British economy car that debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, in 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972. Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was subsequently expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate (the Traveller) from 1952 and panel van and pick-up truck variants from 1953.

1966 Wolseley 6/110 - FKP 411D

25 Sep 2011 2 2 693
The introduction of the 6/99 in 1959 market was a break with tradition for the “big Wolseley” range. For over quarter of a century, Wolseley had been Morris derivatives, but, horror of horrors, this new car was in fact a badge-engineered AUSTIN, being a luxury version of the A99 Westminster.
