Austin 3-Litre

The Austin 3-Litre wis a Breetish saloon caur introduced bi Breetish Leyland in at the Lunnon Motor Show in 1967. Houiver, it becam apparent that BMC wur nae geared up tae producin the caur: few or none seem tae hae been selt that year, but bi Julie 1968 it wis reportit that the caurs haed begun tae leave the factory. Bi that time, the square heidlichts seen at the 1967 motor show haed been replaced bi conventional roond twin heidlamp units, an bi the time o the October 1968 show, the caur haed acquired front quarter lichts an aa. In Julie 1968, wi caurs beginnin tae emerge frae the plant, the manufacturers wur asked tae detail improvements reportedly implementit syne the caur's 'launch' the previous October. Mention wis made o orifice modifications tae hydraulic valves in the rear suspension, an it wis stated that thare wis a "new" final drive ratio o 3.9:1, tho this wis actually the same final drive ratio includit in the launch information the previous October.
