Collection: All A-series engines Austin BMC BL Models

The A-series engine is a small, four-cylinder internal combustion engine designed by the British Motor Corporation (BMC). It was introduced in 1951 and was primarily fitted to a variety of BMC cars, including the Austin A30 and the Morris Minor. Over time, the A-series engine was adapted and used in several other vehicles, including the Mini (introduced in 1959), the Austin 1100, and the Morris 1100. This engine was known for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for small, economy cars in the mid-20th century. The A-series engine remained in production for several decades, with various iterations and displacements, up until the 1980s.
