Hlola i-MGC ne-Triumph TR250: izimoto eziyisithupha
Izindlela ezimbili zaseBrithani zokuzijabulisa emvelweni
Labo abathanda i-roadster yaseBrithani ehlanganisiwe ene-inline-six ngo-1968 bakuthola ababekufuna. MG futhi Ukunqoba. Idume ngamasiko abo, imikhiqizo cishe ngasikhathi sinye imele i-MGC futhi ikakhulukazi emakethe yaseMelika i-Triumph TR250. Iyiphi kulezi zimoto ezimbili ejabulisa kakhulu?
Nkulunkulu, ibhayisikili elingaka! Iyunithi enkulu yamasilinda ayisithupha iqine kakhulu phakathi kwefeni epholile kanye nodonga lwekhebhu kangangoba kunzima ukufaka isikrufu esilula esingu-7/16 nhlangothi zombili. Kwesokudla kukhona ama-SU carburetor amabili aqinile okungenzeka omunye umuntu uwathole ku-Jaguar XK 150. Ukuze kuvalwe ngokugcwele isivalo phezu kwenjini ye-MGC, inikezwa iqhubu elibanzi, elikhumbuza isiyingi sesifuba sika-Arnold Schwarzenegger ku-movie ethi Conan. umqaba. Ngakho-ke akungabazeki: i-MGC ingumshini wangempela kawoyela.
Ngokulandela imodeli yaseMelika, i-MG ifaka injini enamalitha ayisithupha-cylinder ene-147 hp, eyenzelwe i-Austin 3-Liter sedan, ibe yincane, ekuqaleni enesisindo esingu-920 kg MGB kuphela. Ngenxa yalokho, uma kuqhathaniswa nenguqulo ye-1,8-litre eyi-cylinder, amandla akhuphuka ngo-51 hp. - okungukuthi, ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili. Futhi ngokokuqala ngqa, i-MG yokukhiqiza iphula ingqophamlando ka-200 km/h. I-MG ibheka ukwanda okukhulu kwamandla okudingekile ngenxa yezizathu ezimbili: okokuqala, cishe kanyekanye nalokhu, imbangi enkulu i-Triumph yethula i-TR5 PI ene-2,5-litre. injini enamasilinda angu-152 hp. Okwesibili, i-MG inethemba lokuthi i-roadster enamasilinda ayisithupha inganikeza enye indawo ye-Austin-Healey enqanyuliwe.
Yintsha kanjani iMGC?
Iqiniso lokuthi uMG ufuna ukuheha amakhasimende wangaphambili kaHealy nge-MGC mhlawumbe lichaza igama elincane kakhulu ukuthi, ngemuva kwe-MGA ne-MGB, empeleni lithembisa imoto entsha ngokuphelele. Abathengisi be-MG bakholelwa ukuthi uma beyibiza nge-MGB Six noma i-MGB 3000, ukusondela kwemodeli encane futhi engabizi kakhulu yamasilinda amane kuzobonakala ngokushesha. Kodwa-ke, i-MGC izokwenza umehluko ocacile kwi-MGB (esakhiqiza namanje), okukhombisa ukuthi kunikezwa okuguqukayo okuhluke ngokuphelele, futhi okungcono kakhulu kwezemidlalo.
Ngandlela-thile, okuningi kuye kwashintsha ngempela ngaphansi kwe-hood - hhayi nje injini entsha ngokuphelele, kodwa futhi ukumiswa kwangaphambili. I-bulkhead yomzimba, izindonga ezisemaceleni kanye neshidi langaphambili lensimbi nakho kwadingeka ukuba kulungiswe ukuze kulingane nesilwane esisabekayo esiyi-six-cylinder esingu-270kg endaweni yenjini ye-compact, engaphansi kwamamitha amane ubude be-MGB. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yalokho, ingcindezi ku-axle yangaphambili yanda cishe ngo-150 kg. Ingabe uyayizwa ngenkathi ushayela?
Okungenani abahleli bephephabhuku iBritish Autocar ngoNovemba 1967 babengajabule neze lapho befaka i-MGC esivivinyweni. Okokuqala, ukuqondisa, naphezu kokudluliswa okungaqondile, kunesifo sohlangothi esinzima ngesikhathi sokuhamba kokupaka. Ihlanganiswe nesisindo esingeziwe ku-ekseli langaphambili ngenxa yomsizi ophansi we-MGC, ayinakho "ukukhanya kwe-MGB noma i-Austin-Healey". Isiphetho: "Kungcono ukuhamba emigwaqeni emikhulu kunasemigwaqweni emincane esezintabeni."
Kepha manje sekuyisikhathi sethu. Ngenhlanhla, umthengisi wezimoto zakudala uHolger Bockenmühl usinikeze iMGC ebomvu yokugibela. Igumbi leBockenmühl elinamamodeli akudala ajabulisayo atholakala ngemuva nje kwesakhiwo iMotorworld eBoeblingen, lapho kuthengiswa khona le MG (www.bockemuehl-classic-cars.de). Lapho silindele nokuthi uFrank Elseser noTriumph TR250 wakhe, esibamemile kulokhu kuqhathaniswa kwe-roadster. Kokubili okuguqukayo kukhishwe ngo-1968.
I-TR250 inguqulo yaseMelika ye-TR5 PI futhi inama-carburetor amabili e-Stromberg esikhundleni sesistimu yokujova uphethiloli. Amandla enjini engu-2,5 litre six-cylinder angu-104 hp. - Kodwa imodeli ye-Triumph inesisindo esingamakhilogremu ayikhulu kunommeli we-MG. Ingabe lokho kuyenza ihlakaniphe kunabagibeli bemigwaqo ababili? Noma i-43 hp engekho. injabulo yokushayela engacacile?
Okokuqala, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi i-MGC ebomvu isetshenziselwe ukulungisa okuthile futhi inezengezo ezithokozisayo: amalambu angeziwe nokulawula, itripmaster, izihlalo ezinamasekeli angemuva, isondo lokushayela likagesi elengeziwe, amasondo 185/70 HR 15, imigoqo yokugoqa amabhande njengesesekeli sokuzikhethela. Njengenjwayelo ne-MGB yasekuqaleni, iminyango emide ivumela ukuhamba ngokukhululeka kokuguqukayo okuphansi. Lapha, uhlala uqonde ubuke amadivayisi amaSmiths amahlanu amancane kepha afundeka kalula anezinombolo eziqinile nezingama-angular ezinikeza umshayeli wesivinini esisheshayo ijubane eliphezulu lika-140 mph (225 km / h).
Ehlanganisa ipulasitiki emnyama embozwe ngeziphedi eziwugqinsi phambi komgibeli eduze komshayeli kanye nephaneli yensimbi evikelwe khona kanye phambi komuntu ohlezi esondweni, kufakwe izilawuli zokushisisa ezijikelezayo ezimise okwebhola ezimbili kanye nefeni. Ezingeni lokushisa elingamadigri ayisishiyagalombili ngaphandle, sizobeka womabili amanani aphezulu. Kodwa okokuqala, injini ye-six-cylinder ene-displacement enkulu kufanele ifudumale kahle. Uhlelo lokupholisa luqukethe amalitha angu-10,5 oketshezi, ngakho lokhu kuzothatha isikhathi. Kodwa imnandi impela - ngisho nangaphansi kuka-2000 rpm, siyakhuphuka ngo gearbox osebenza kahle wamagiya amane, kanti abayisithupha abaqinile baqhubezela i-lightweight eguqulekayo kalula ukusuka kumarev aphansi.
Uma sifuna ukudlula umuntu ngemoto eshisayo, siphinda kabili isivinini sokushintsha siye ku-4000 - futhi lokho kungaphezu kokwanele. Uma kwenzeka i-MGB emnene ifuna ukufana nathi, injini yayo evame ukuzethemba enamasilinda amane, njengenganekwane ye-jazz u-Dizzy Gillespie, ingakhukhumeza izihlathi. Leyo PTO ethanda ukuvelela ku-MGC icishe izwakale njenge-Jaguar E-Type - nakuba kuma-revs aphezulu, amasilinda ayisithupha ka-Austin axegisa ukubamba kwawo futhi asebenze kancane ngokungalingani. Ukuxega kwe-MGC okukhulunywe ngayo ngabahloli bangaphambili lapho bejika isondo lokuqondisa noma emakhoneni aqinile cishe akuzwakali, mhlawumbe ngenxa yesiteringi samandla kagesi namathayi angu-185 ububanzi.
Ukunqoba okuminyene okusondelene
Ushintsho oluqondile olusuka ku-MGC luye ku-TR250 lusebenza njengohambo olubuyela emuva ngesikhathi kumshini wesikhathi. Umzimba we-TR250, ohluke kancane kune-TR1961 owethulwe kuNyaka 4, ungamasentimitha amahlanu uncane kunomzimba we-MGB, kodwa ubude obufanayo. Kodwa-ke, isikhala ngemuva kwesiteringi esincane sincane kakhulu. Lapha izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi lapho wehla phansi nomkhulu, ungabeka isandla sakho onqenqemeni olungaphezulu lomnyango. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iTriumph yonakalisa umshayeli wayo ngezilawuli ezinkulu okuthi, ngenkathi yakhelwe kudeshibhodi enhle yezinkuni, zingabi namasongo we-chrome.
Injini engu-2,5 litre six-cylinder, ebukeka incane kakhulu, ihlaba umxhwele ngaphezu kwakho konke ukusebenza kwayo okusilika, ethule futhi eshelelayo. Ngokushaya okude kwamamilimitha angama-95, i-Triumph yesithupha icishe ibe ngamamilimitha ayisithupha ngaphezu kwe-MGC Austin egudluziwe enkulu. Ngenxa yalokhu, i-Triumph's bore icishe ibe yisentimitha encane kunesilo se-MG - kanti ama-piston ayisithupha e-TR250's ahamba kahle aba mancane futhi mancane ngokufanele.
Ngokuhamba ngesigwedlo esifushane segiya, isisindo esincane semoto elula nokuhamba okujulile, i-Triumph ihambisa ukugibela kwezemidlalo kune-MGC. Lapha uzizwa njenge-roadster yangempela, eziphatha ngobungani obuncane kumshayeli wayo kune-MGC ehlaba umxhwele enenjini yayo enamandla. Emizileni elungiswe kahle, engavinjelwe, i-MG enamandla nakanjani izosuka kwi-Triumph ebushelelezi, kepha emigwaqeni emincane yezintaba enamajika, ungalindela isimo sokufa lapho izandla zomshayeli we-Triumph zihlala zomile.
Naphezu kwalokhu kuhluka, amamodeli amabili ahlanganyela isiphetho esivamile - awanayo impumelelo enkulu yezohwebo, okuyinto, ngendlela, i-Triumph ayizange ihlele nhlobo. I-TR5 PI kanye nenguqulo yayo yaseMelika ethi TR250 kwalandelwa eminyakeni emibili kamuva ukuvela kwe-TR6 ngomzimba omusha ngokuphelele. Iqiniso lokuthi i-TR5 ne-TR6 ayatholakala ngezinguqulo ezimbili ezahlukene kungenxa yemithetho eqinile yokukhipha umoya e-United States. Ochwepheshe be-Triumph, njengombhali wencwadi yomkhiqizo u-Bill Pigot, baphakamisa ukuthi inkampani ibifuna ukuhlenga abathengi e-US ezinhlelweni zokujova ezingakahlolwa futhi okunzima ukuzigcina zemodeli ye-PI (Petrol Injection).
I-MGC nayo yakhiqizwa iminyaka emibili kuphela (1967-1969) futhi ayizange isondele ekuthengisweni okuyimpumelelo kwenganekwane yase-Austin-Healey. Bobabili abashayeli bemigwaqo, naphezu kwesimilo sabo esiyiqiniso ngokwedlulele, bayizimpawu zokwehla kwemboni yezimoto yaseBrithani. Isikhathi sabo sokukhiqiza saqondana nokusungulwa kweBritish Leyland ngo-1968, inhlekelele enkulu yezimboni ngemikhiqizo, izibopho namasu.
isiphetho
Umhleli uFranc-Peter Hudek: I-MGC ne-Triumph TR250 zinikeza amandla ahloniphekile asuka kuma-revs aphansi ezinjini zazo zakudala ezinamasilinda ayisithupha ukuze zizame futhi zihlolwe ubuchwepheshe obulula kanye nenjabulo yokushayela ngaphandle ehlaba umxhwele. Kodwa-ke, usizi lokumaketha kabi ngamayunithi ambalwa akhiqizwayo awenza abe ama-underdogs asafakwe ohlwini olushibhile uma kuqhathaniswa - ingcebo yongoti bangempela.

UMLANDO
IBritish Leyland nokuqala kokuphela
ISISEKO IBritish Leyland ngo-1968 yaba ingqophamlando yokuhlanganiswa kwegagasi elide labakhiqizi bezimoto baseBrithani. Ukuhlanganiswa kwemikhiqizo ezenzakalelayo engama-20 bekufanele ukwenze lula ukukhiqiza ngokuthuthuka ngokubambisana nokusebenzisa izingxenye eziningi ezifanayo ngangokunokwenzeka, ngenkathi kusizwa ukudala amamodeli amasha amahle. Imikhiqizo ebaluleke kakhulu yi-Austin, Daimler, MG, Morris, Jaguar, Rover neTriumph. Igama elithi Leyland livela kumkhiqizi wamaloli owathola iStandard-Triumph ngo-1961 neRover ngo-1967.
Kodwa-ke, ukuhlanganiswa okukhulu kwaphela ku-fiasco. Inkinga ibanzi kakhulu futhi kunzima ukubhekana nayo. Ngaphezu kokuba nezigaba eziningi ekuqaleni kwayo, iBritish Leyland inezimboni zezimoto ezingaphezu kuka-40 ezisabalele e-Central England. Izingxabano phakathi kwabaphathi, ukungatshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kanye nezinga eliphansi lomkhiqizo - ngokwengxenye ngenxa yeziteleka ngemva kokuvalwa kwamafemu - kubangele ukwehla ngokushesha kweqembu lezimboni. Ekupheleni kuka-1974, ukukhathazeka kwase kuseduze nokuqothuka. Ngemva kokufakwa ngaphansi kukahulumeni ngeminyaka yawo-80s, yahlukaniswa.
Egalari, sikhombisa amamodeli amane ajwayelekile aseBritish Leyland njengezibonelo zezinqubomgomo zokumodela ezingafanele, ubuchwepheshe obuphelelwe yisikhathi kanye nemibono eyiphutha mayelana nemakethe yamazwe omhlaba.
