BMC B-Series

Like the smaller A-Series engine the BMC B-Series unit found itself fitted in a variety of cars and commercial models during its career and grew in capacity. The first 1200cc versions were used in the Austin A40 and Morris Cowley/Oxford models, more glamorous 1500cc and 1600cc versions were used in the MGA and also the quirky Austin/Nash Metropolitan. The B-Series went through many changes during its long career. Tuned, twin-carb units found their way into various MG's and "sports saloons" including the 1800 and badge-engineered Farina models. More unusual derivatives included two special diesel versions and a 2433cc six cylinder unit used in some Australian models.
