well my claim to fame was i helped Rae build this car and spent most of the weekend under the red rocket.... and sat eve drove back to bracknell to get parts and get it ready for sunday... engine was 1275cc on 1-3/4 twin SU carbs...... it was already sold to a customer in Japan Rae won driver of the weekend .......
Hard to imagine the A35 has a better power/weight ratio than the Jag. Great selection of cars, nice to see the Alvis Grey Lady driven competitively. Thanks for posting!
@@saxon-mt5byThe Austin A35 started life with 34BHP... The 'Speedwell' cars are running more than double that, through a larger capacity version of the same A Series engine...
@@MorrisPV Yeah, that's my point. The 1275cc Speedwell engine is 35% larger than the original 948cc A-Series. Uprate the 3.4 litre Jag engine to something close to 4.5 litres and then compare the cars.

I am feeling like I want to learn more about these historic British cars. Grew up in North America 1969's-70's and I feel like we missed out on a great deal of really interesting automobiles. Have been to the UK several times in the 90's but do not remember seeing any of the smaller cars in this race on daily driver duty. Doing tourist things trying to keep up with wife the history teacher.... Sir Rowan looked all business in that Jaguar.
Those racing A35s were very competitive back in the day. Amazing race by the Jaguar driver. Great to see the Austin Westminster as well. Far more sturdy and reliable as police cars cars in the 60s than the Jaguars from what I’ve read. An Austin A99 Westminster support car driven by Eric Carlsson followed Pat Moss’s winning Austin Healey 3000 all the way in the gruelling Liège Rome Liège Rally in 1960
The “Powerful peanut” A35’s .owned quite a few A30-35’s over the years, great little cars .especially with the 1275 A+ engine from a Morris ital.with a few vizard tweaks to it
too right, I used to hate them as a kid. Our sports teacher had an A30 van which stank of mouldy horsehair and when you slammed the door the whole bodyshell reverberated.
It's a total fix. The damned awful little A35 didn't have the standard engine in it or running gear, but the Jag etc did. Anyone can create a fully tuned big engined 'special' just to cheat and win.
It's absolutely appropriate as all the Austin A35s I remember from the day, were less than a litre engine size and 0 to 60 in at least half a minute plus and old ladies drove them, along with Morris travellers and the like. The Jag was standard engined but A35 was nothing like standard and thus cheated!
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. " Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" in German. ;-(
