Didnt mean that V.N. Any time,anywhere,you can post here,not Google, Audi did an L2 or something like that, it looked like the first Audi exported to England. Morgan was a 3 Wheeler so pehaps off side.

OK. Otherwise no point in researching questions if guys just use new fangled phones.

Audi was Auto Union so I think Auto Union not Audi as such.

Suzuki was 6th, Subaru make what 9? or 8?

There is also the Bond Mini car but it only has three wheels so classed as a motorbike and side-car.

"Subaru make what 9? or 8?".

Does the number produced affect whether the engine was a 2- or 4-stroke? A few more than you suggest, almost 400,000, to be imprecise.

I though id nailed it with the tiny Honda Sports-car, but our Car Wash German expert said it was a 4 Stroke. You can confer if its Pub Quiz style. M. Marlow are you trying to take my Crown for muddled posts.

BMC (British Motor Corporation)(BL) bought up marks into their fold.

Which two big names were sadly removed from production ?

[Ace of Pop]

Austin Healey.

[transam]

Austin Healey.

I forgot about that one, but that one was purely a joint sports car venture, there are two marks that were used on a variety of rides mainly due too trim or looks but defunked now. .

[Ace of Pop]

Riley, Wolsey, Vandan Plas, M.G.Rover are all i remember.It was Austin Rover at one time years ago about when i left. Freight Rover, and Leyland Daff.

[stubuzz]

Morris

[stubuzz]

Hillman

[Ace of Pop]

That was Roots/Chrysler Group, Singer, Sunbeam. Humber and Hillman..... i think B.L. dropped Triumph too.

Yep, it was Wolseley and Riley.

We all remember tappet adjustment . One of the greatest engine developments was the hydraulic lifter, or tappet. Did away with all that regular crap.

But when do you think it was thought of and used in a production car. ?

Noooooooo googles, Just take a guess..............

[stubuzz]

I guess it was a German company: Audi;VW;Benz

[transam]

Nope.

The question was ....when.

[stubuzz]

Ok, I'll try the other side of the world. Maybe the Americans.

[stubuzz]

Sorry, 1920-30. Ford maybe.

[transam]

As you are near, they were first used in 1930, Cadillac.

[Ace of Pop]

An American Company many years ago. Best Guess Cadillac

[stubuzz]

It's quite an interesting question, as manufacturers are reverting back to adjustable/shim type tappets. My friends (2) both have new Toyota's: a Vios and an Altis. They rattle like F@@K hot and cold.

[transam]

We all know the UK Mini, not the German thingy. Had badges, Austin, Morris, Cooper, but they had two other names not related to the fore mentioned. What were the names ?

Both cars were "3 box" design and the Elf had twin carbs.
