BMC C-Series

BMC introduced its six cylinder C-Series engine in 1954. The engine appeared in a variety of different cars and commercial vehicles including saloon models from Austin, Morris, Wolseley and later versions of the Riley Pathfinder (officially known as the Two-Point-Six). The C-Series engines also found their way into the "Big" Austin-Healey models and the A-H 3000 replacement, the MGC.

C-Series capacities ranged from 2.6 litres to 2.9 litres. In 1967 a repackaged version of the 2.9 litre C-Series was used to power the new Austin 3-Litre saloon.
