Best of British Leyland | #6 Hydragas Heroes: Allegro, Maxi, Princess, MGF
Issue 6 of The Best of British Leyland focuses not upon a single model, but upon a wide choice of vehicles united by a single technical achievement. Hydragas suspension, while considered a blind alley today, was one of the most advanced systems of its era and one which set British Leyland apart from rival manufacturers. Independent at all four corners, yet connected to ensure a level ride, Hydragas offered simplicity beyond springs and dampers and a ride that could rival Jaguar. Refined from the earlier Hydrolastic, Hydragas was responsible for the ride of a generation of British automotive heroes. And today, the curse of the leaning Leyland has gone with companies able to recharge not only the fluid but the gas element, restoring a level and compliant ride to any Allegro, Maxi, Princess or MGF and reminding us all exactly why Hydragas was such a big deal in the first place. Within this 100-page publication, we will chart the progress of Hydragas suspension and the models it made so special. Packed with facts and figures, superb cars and entertaining features, it’s a bookazine that any British Leyland enthusiast will want to add to their collection.
