Not much there on the BL R-Series engine, either, although upon seeing one Jay did rather perceptively ask me "What the hell is that?"

Sort of, although in some ways it's better to think of BL as the British Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Rover Group as the British AMC.

There's a children's book out now that has the ABC's given in terms of cars (think: "N is for Nash"); I saw it in my latest Classic Motorsports but can't recall the title right now.  Want to get a copy for my kids.

Re: Holiday gift ideas for the Lemons clan.

It's that time of year again.

MagCloud is offering another 25% discount on books like this. The only catch is the discount is available to only the person who created the book, and it expires on November 27. So, we can do a bulk order/group buy. Normal price is $79. With the discount it's down to $59.25, closer to a Christmas gift price. Please add $5 for shipping in the US.

Let me know if you are interested.

And don't forget the ABC's book, and others, mentioned in previous posts.

The Lemons library is growing!
