Nikeza indlela eya kuthelawayeka

Inkinga ngomgwaqo i-Austin Highway ukuthi ngo-1962 umfaniswano wawo wawungasasebenzi.

Lena imoto, hhayi umgwaqo omkhulu waseTexas, kodwa umfowabo kanokusho u-Wolseley 24/80. Futhi ngaphambi kokuthi ubuze, i-24/80 isho amalitha angu-2.4 no-80 hp. (lokho kungu-59 kW emalini yanamuhla).

Inhlanganisela yama-six-cylinder Freeway/Wolseley yathuthukiswa ngoba ngo-1962 iBritish Motor Company (BMC) yayihlulwa empini yokudayisa ibhekene neHolden, Falcon and Valiant nge-British-inspired yabo futhi yanquma ukusebenzisa amandla angu-1.6-litre four-cylinder Austin A60, Morris Oxford. kanye nezinjini ze-Wolseley eziyi-15. . /60. Laba abathathu abakaze bashintshe kusukela bakhululwa ngo-1959.

Njengoba bengenayo imali yokuthuthukisa injini entsha, onjiniyela bendawo be-BMC bavele bengeze amasilinda amabili enjinini ekhona enamasilinda amane, bakhulisa amandla ngo-35%.

Abakhangisi babize injini engu-2.4 litre ngokuthi "umugqa oluhlaza" futhi isiqubulo sokukhangisa sinxuse amakhasimende ukuthi "adedele uthelawayeka."

Lokho okungenzeka amakhasimende ayekwenza empeleni kwakuwukubhekisa amabombo embonini yezitolo i-Holden, Ford, noma i-Chrysler, futhi iphupho le-BMC lokuthengisa okuphumelelayo alifezekanga. Ngemva kokudayisa amayunithi angu-27,000 1965 kuphela, ukukhiqizwa kwaphela ngo-154,000 ngo-18. Ngokuqhathanisa, u-Holden uthengise amamodeli we-EJ ayi-XNUMX ngezinyanga eziyi-XNUMX kuphela.

Inkinga ngothelawayeka kwaba ukuthi ngo-1962 isimo sawo sase singasasetshenziswa. Ingcweti yesitayela sase-Italy u-Batista Pininfarina uthuthukise idizayini yokuqala maphakathi nawo-1950. Unikeze izimoto ze-BMC amawindi asongwe kancane kanye namaphinifa omsila. Inkinga yayiwukuthi ngo-1962 umgwaqo onguthelawayeka wawuphakeme kakhulu, umncane kakhulu, futhi ufana no-1959 uma kuqhathaniswa nezimbangi zawo ezinde, ezimfushane, ezibanzi, ezisesitayeleni futhi ezinamandla kakhulu.

Khumbula ukuthi u-Pinnifarina wasebenzisa idizayini ye-BMC. Usebenzise isifanekiso sesitayela esifanayo sePeugeot 404, iLancia Flaminia yango-1957 kanye neFerrari 250GT Pininfarina. Uma ungangikholwa, bheka iPeugeot 404 kanye noFreeway. Zombili zithathwe kumsiki wekhukhi ofanayo. Noma, ungasebenzisa i-Google. Kukhona amawebhusayithi anikezelwe kulesi sihloko!

Abathandi bezimoto zezimoto babiza izimoto ngokuthi "i-BMC Farinas" futhi uzomangala ngamandla abalandeli babo kanye nebutho labazinikele. Iya kunoma yimuphi umbukiso we-Automobile Club 'All-British' futhi ngiyakuqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo okhiqiza kakhulu embukisweni, onabalandeli abashiseka kakhulu, kuzoba ama-BMC esitayela sika-Farina.
