New Resources posted on the Archive Web Site
Hello all.. I would just like to draw your attention to a major update that has taken place on the Archive web site today. This is work that has been a long time coming, mainly as those involved were distracted by the Centenary and/or earning a living. In fact, I should make special mention of Chris Charles who does the nuts and 'IT' bolts on the web site who has had to put up with my constant witterings over the past few weeks and months. However, we managed to get a tranche of work completed today.
Engineering Drawings:
This section of the site has had a major overhaul with new images of older scans now appearing, duplications removed and a more coordinated series of descriptions that has lead to a more sensible ordering of the images.
Brochures:
Over that past months, we have been acquiring new Brochures and have been steadily digitising them. Today, we have released the following list of new items for your edification and delight. We have also tidied up some bugs in the listings and, more importantly, dealt with the ordering of the entries that gives a more sensible date arranged list.
460 - 1925 (January) Full Model Range
461 – 1925 Motoring at Tram Fare
510 - 1925 (October) Full Model Range
599 - 1927 Souvenir of a visit to the Longbridge Works
655B - 1929 Full Model Range 'Buy British Goods'

958 - 1933 Dutch Export Model Range. Full Colour. Unusual for a foreign language brochure to be identified in the same numbering range as English versions. Usually this would be classified as 958D (D as in Dutch c/f 1076D)

1076D - 1934 Austin Delivery Vans 7-10-12HP Dutch fold out brochure in Colour
