Naylor Car Club
Never lost in the crowd
The cars were inspired by the MG TF which was built at Abingdon during the 1950s. Handbuilt by Naylor Bros plc in Bradford and later the Hutson Car Co, they were developed as an improved form of the original with increased power and improved suspension and braking.
100 cars badged Naylor were produced in 1985/86. They were fully type approved and had full backing from the Austin Rover Group. The chassis is steel and the body, mounted on an ash frame, has steel panels. Unlike the MG TF, in order to meet legislative requirements, the doors have forward hinges and the instruments are in front of the driver. The engine is an Austin Rover "O" series 1700cc producing 77 BHP at 5180 rpm.
In 1986 Naylor Cars plc were acquired by the Hutson Car Co and a further 61 cars badged Hutson were produced.
The Club was formed in 1994 at an inaugural meeting at the Heritage Centre at Gaydon. The aims are to further interest in both Naylor and Hutson TF 1700 cars, to arrange social events, meetings, discussions, tours and road runs. Members are kept informed of Club activities and matters of general and technical interest through the Club magazine Naylor News which is published three times per year and is supplemented by periodic Newsletters. The Club is affiliated to the RAC Motor Sports Association.
The Club is organised into regions, Thames, Western, South Western, Anglia and Northern and each arranges meets and events during the season.
This is a sociable Club and Members are expected to, and do, enjoy themselves. There is no element of competition, apart from a well polished motor, and as we are not obsessed with what is under the bonnet. Wives and girlfriends find what we do a delight. Also, joining The Naylor Car Club will do wonders for your sense of humour !
