Re: "New" baby
Pete - The design was not Lanchester's but came from an Englishman who raced at Brooklands. I forgot to mention that it also had a transverse engine layout and that Ford did not reject it till they had fully costed it. A pity that BL didn't as I was told that over the life of the Mini BL never made a profit from the model. I don't know how true this is but it came from a BL director.
