Panda Car Hot Pursuit

Post by MellowYellow »

The dawn of the motorway era necessitated the fitting of a new 948cc variant of the BMC A-Series engine to the Morris Minor, elevating top speed from 63 mph to 75 mph, and almost halving 0-60 mph acceleration from 52.5 secs to 31.3 secs. Driving was further improved by a substantially revised gearbox, which incorporated taller ratios for more relaxed cruising speeds and a remote selector allowing a shorter gear lever and less ponderous gearchange action.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?
