Initially the suspension of the BMC Mini was built around rubber under
compression. Later when the 1100 series (Austin, Morris, MG, Riley, =
Wolseley
and Vanden Plas badged versions) the BMC Hydrolastic suspension was
introduced including into the Mini.=20

The Hydrolastic fluid itself was an equal mix of alcohol and distilled =

plus a couple of other small additives to make it taste terrible as UK

it into the system and unless you had one it was not possible to do it

In mid-1978 BMC or BLMC as it was known then, did away with the =

suspension and introduced their Hydragas system.

A friend of mine=92s dad had the MG version of the 1300. BRG=85.looked =
nice and
went well. Sadly, said friend and I took it out to a pub one night and
wrecked it on the way home. Actually, we were not at all drunk. It was

both side, he aquaplaned it quite spectacularly. We spun round and =

Seemingly, on each revolution, a startled oncoming driver would =

miss us. It was 50% inexperience, 50% stupidity. The devil looks after =
his
own! I guess we were about 18 yrs old. Dangerous age.
The dad was a Major General and could be quite fierce but he took it
surprisingly well!!

Charlie,

The Austin and Morris 1100s and 1300s were very popular compact BMC
four-door saloons in the sixties and seventies.
MG badged them too. A friend had one with twin S.U.s It was a fun car.
They all had 'hydrolastic' suspension. You can check that out on =
Google.
=20
Thousands were assembled CKD right here in Auckland by the Dominion =
Motor
Company.
