ADVOCATE'S CORNER...............by Rob Stuart Welcome to the 5th issue of the AUSTIN ADVOCATE. Many events were held around the world this year to celebrate the England: Enthusiasts gathered at the Longbridge factory to mark the 50th anniversary of the A90 Atlantic and A70 Hampshire, the Austin Counties Car Club had its annual club rally, and the second Flying-A Rally was a big success. Growing interest in street rods and nostalgia drag racing has created an
increase in the number of modernized If you would like to contact me with Rob Stuart Phone: 310-372-7985 |
50th Anniversary for The weather was just right as we pulled into the special visitors car park at Longbridge
on Sunday 28 June. The sight that greeted us was unique. Atlantics and Hampshires all gathered together for the first time at
the place that they were built 50 years ago. My Devon seemed out of place as
I parked up, but as I do not own either of the two
anniversary models, it was the next best thing, and anyway the
Hampshire owes quite a lot in terms of styling to the humble Over the next half-hour Atlantics and Hampshires burbled on to the car park, until 13 Atlantics and Hampshires (including a rare pickup) were lined up. A unique sight and one which will not be seen again for many years. First to move into place for the many photo calls of the day were the Hampshires, all neatly lined up in front of the exhibition hall. Then in turn came the Atlantic drop-heads followed by the coupes. While all of this snapping was taking place owners, friends and relatives were chatting to each other and the gang of ex-employees who I had invited to attend. Guest of honour was Diana Hess the wife of the late Alan Hess, the Austin Motor Company's public relations officer for the period of the Counties range of cars. Mark Yeomans had invited her to attend along with her brother and it was only fitting that she should have her photograph taken by Barney Sharratt in a beautiful white Atlantic convertible for Classic Car Weekly. At the end of the Longbridge section of the
event all vehicles made their way to Gaydon. After
lunch the packed lecture theatre was used for an illustrated slide talk by
yours truly on the history of the Many thanks to every one who helped to make
the day such a success. The next anniversary event will be held in 2000 to
celebrate the Austin Hereford and the A40 Sports. |
