Austin new ruby

[Colin Morgan]

The New, Mk II or ARR Ruby is different from the earlier version in many minor ways - this includes the doors being a single pressing, the scuttle being radiused to a windsceen at a steeper angle, the horizontal swage line along the side of the car stopping in an arrow rather than going right round the back, the front wings being a heavier shape, the rear windows winding down, larger stainless steel wheel centre caps, the speedo being conventional rather than a barrel type.  To these are added the change in engine mentioned above - three-bearing, high compression head - and the brakes to semi-Girling and other more minor changes, plus those that continue during the production until the end of production.  

The Big Seven wheel base is given as 7' 3.5".
