The first competitive run with our newly finished A35 running a quickly thrown together 1293cc engine after the first motor blew so down on power.

Nice looking car, and nice scenery too.
Just a tad quicker than our family A35 that we had back in the early 1970s. Great to see this little car charging up the hill with that snarly engine tone
Yes funny how memory changes things I don’t remember an a35 going that quick
Wow, still such a great looking car, and now with a modern engine! Fantastic work. Did the fibreglass body require much restoration?
Thanks. The body didn’t need any work whatsoever
Great vid, cracking little car, quick as hell too. A series with webber etc?
Thanks. Full race 1293 on mapped ignition with a single Webber 45.
Nice A35
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..
He even pulled the choke out to start it! 😂
Impressive !
What cracking little cars. Would be great in production as electric powered car !
My A35 never went like that!
My A35 often never went......... !
Just got myself a clan, do you help others sort theirs out? I'm in the Shire
Joe.I barely have the time to work on my own car but I'm happy to answer any questions if Ican
At first, I thought, what nutter did this. Now, I want to be that nutter that did.
What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon :) Can you give me any info on the gearbox you are running in the clan please. I'm doing the same conversion in an Imp, and my fear is the gearbox ,firstly the strength of the thing, I do plan on an LSD to strengthen the diff pins. And secondly the ratios. Your clan sounds as though it doesn't drop too far out of the power band when you change gear, I'm sure the weight advantage of the Clan helps with that, but I've heard others that seem to have a big "hole" in the gearing upon changing up, just wondering if you are running close ratio? Any advice much appreciated.
The Engine Shed the gearbox needs strengthening externally-mine was done by Dave Weedon. I don’t find an LSD remotely necessary but this may be different in an Imp and am not sure how it would help with the case strength. There is too large a gap between second and third so we went for lower 3rd and 4th which is why it doesn’t drop out of the power band. Again this was done by Dave Weedon.
@@fsmlittler That is fantastic, thanks so much. Do you have any contact info for Dave? I've owned my imp 25 years, I've come across Dave's name before but never dealt with him, my email is theengineshedonline@gmail.com
What engine did you use? My uncle has a couple of clans.
David Mckeag we fitted a BMW K1200RS motorbike engine
My first car,pale blue Reg 6503no.is it still out there.?
This would be even funnier if that damn thing didn't handle.. But it does.... And goes pretty well too.... Nice one.
Thanks but honestly the handling is a bit terrifying with chronic bumpsteer!
Hello from Australia, I can see from other comments you're running a hot 1275 bored out and midget gearbox with 3.7 LSD. What have you done suspension wise to get it handling this well? Would like to build my A30 into something similar.
But A30s are best !
j ai un ami qui en a un version route d origine , il veut me la vendre , quelle papier a faire et pour le ct sa passe , ou quoi ,
Desole mais Je ne comprend. Tu veux acheter un version route d’origine?

car clean crusader
The ultimate club car.....I would so love to know its specs😀
1293cc A series with a race cam, very big valve head, single 45 and mapped ignition.
@@fsmlittler😊
My father had a Black one ! WTC635 . He was a Vicar , so wearing Black most of the time . Bought it from A&B motors at Newton Le Willows Happy memories . 22 years tomorrow since he died . Never forgotten!
Very cool.
I think you got more outta that engine that the orginal 35 hp lol
Wendy Creaney it’s now an A135......
Nice car, wasted in these events.
Matter of value judgement. Ideal hillclimb and sprint car, I'd say.
Like the plumes of oil smoke out the exhaust
A35 , James Hunts favorite London runabout . Apparently he liked its handling and balance and you can see why here. Nice vid
I thought that he had an A40 Farina?
Beautiful little Baby Austin. That grey silver metallic is perfect, I always remember them in drab grey or black. What a difference 😃
Good ride..i think it burns little bit engine oil, ?
My parents had an A35. It was fucking despicable.
That was a surprise. Love it.
My clear screen
My dad's first car was a (new) Austin A30...1955. Never forgotten. Dad...or the car.
Mine was an A35... but it never went like that.
Likewise, I learned to drive on an A30....how THAT thing brings back memories!
graham w Same situation for me except dad got ours in 58
Hello, what gearbox is it?
It’s a rebuilt MG Midget 1275 box with a 3 7 limited slip diff
thank you very much i want to put gearbox in my morris minor pickup
A lovely older english classic should you be 5 foot zero.
Oh what a beauty
I put a 1275 plue print twin su carbs set up from a morris marina in a A35 van back in the 80s for a friend 😆 it went like a batt out off hell 😆...thats a nice car well set up for hill climbs 😉...youst to go to a lot off em in the go old days bikes carts cars 😊...hi from ireland...😄
I'd believe it...have you ever seen the size of the ports in the cylinder head? QUITE impressive...
Bloody hell I had no idea an A35 could go like that, AWESOME!! My dad had a couple of the van types with windows and back seats and they were super reliable and long lived. One of them did 475k
You have a super up engine in that car but thanks for the show
You should have seen them mixing it with Zephyrs, Jags and A95s at Silverstone in the 50sand 60s!
@@royfearn4345 That sounds bonkers!
Totally awesome.
Wow...I had to check my playback speed but it was set on 'normal''
Just awesome... beautiful car congrats mate.
Was there always a BMW engine in it?
No we've just taken out the Hillman Imp engine it came with
Sounds wonderful -- My first car A-30 countryman
what car is the windshield from please?
It’s a Clan screen
@@fsmlittler Thank you
J'ai une adresse en France pour des pièces de compétition
J'ai raté un moteur 16 soupapes il y a quelques temps
Que du plaisir a conduire... J'adore
How does the clan compare to other machinery you've driven handling wise?
Much damage...?? Thanks for putting this up..
Front suspension torn out and drivers side front wheel came into the car!
@@fsmlittler that's quite an impact then.. hope you were ok and you were able to repair the GRP monocoque.. I've had a couple of clans a Europa and a lotus elan+2 over the years and in my view the Clan compared very favourabley from a handling perspective at least..and can't fathom why they don't have a higher profile.. total hidden gem.. take care and thanks for responding
Cool!!
Cool video ..a well sorted clan is much underated fine handling smile machine..
