      <description><![CDATA[My research indicates that the A 40 sports had a reinforced Devon frame under it. I am trying to get some photos of the original Devon frame and the frame as modified ( reinforced ) by Jensen for final use in the A 40 sports. can some one tell me where i can find some photos A 40 sports chassis and the devon frame on the internet or another source where this information is located. I need this information to rebuild my A 40 sports Chassis /Frame]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sorry, everyone. I did not see the other thread on engine swaps  before I posted this. I apologise. I think my questions may be answered, although I didn't see anything about mating an MGB engine to the existing box. I'd quite like to try that first, if it will work. That way I don't have to mess around with a different tunnel, notching the chassis, a different propshaft, etc. No access to Riley parts here, for a start. I'm sure overdrive will make it much nicer, but I'm not sure I want to go to that length yet. Sorry again for not looking thoroughly enough for similar threads. Tim]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello; my name is Tim and I'm a Brit living in Canada. I have the opportunity to purchase a 1949 Devon. It's low on engine compression. In addition, the nature of roads and driving here mean that I will need to give it a bit more power. I am into keeping cars very original (my TR3A and '65 Volvo PV544 Sport are as original), but  I would like to give this Devon a higher cruising speed, without spoiling the historic character of the car. Wikipedia says a Devon engine is like a 'B' series but longer.  Is this correct? I happen to have access to a rebuilt MGB engine and a whole MGB braking system (new), so was wondering if this might be a viable mod. If not, any ideas? Many thanks; Tim]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello to all you Austin 8 owners,

I am interested in tracing an Austin Eight (1946) which, according to the DVLA is still MOTed and taxed. The Reg No is GOM 644 and it is a 4 door car. I owned the car in the early 70s and sold it in Coventry in about 1976. It would be appreciated if the current owner could contact me so that I could have a look at it again. The car has special memories for me. Hoping to hear from the current owner.

      <description><![CDATA[You can obtain replacement gaskets from the club. There is a small surcharge if you're a non-member. Please look at the spares page for details of how to contact our spares secretary to order. I'd also strongly advise that you check the block and the head to check that neither are warped. It's also useful to ensure that the cooling system is in good order, and that the correct, working thermostat is fitted.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,
 My A70 pickup Sales brochure say's available in the Standard colour or for about 20 pounds less available in primer coat.
 So any 50's colour is just fine and historicaly correct for the model . If you had black &amp; white taxi trucks you just got it in primer and painted it in the colours you used in the business.
 
Have a look at Van Ackers A70 pickup pic's in the Gallery, It looks pretty good in the standard Chevoit Brown. Must be what the Brit's thought Australian drirt was like.

Leyland in Aust used this colour well into the 70's so someone must be able to match it.
