Austin Ambassador

Austin Ambassador: - The Austin Ambassador was a medium-to-large hatchback automobile introduced by British Leyland (BL) in 1982. The car was a heavily updated version of the Princess, an ageing model which lacked a hatchback. Only the doors and inner structure were carried over, but the slightly wedge-shaped design betrayed the car's Princess origins, and it was not considered a truly new model.
To some extent a competitor to smaller-engined models of the Austin Rover Group's own Rover SD1, sales were low and the model was discontinued in 1984.
Unlike the Princess, there was no 2.2 litre version; the Ambassador was initially offered in 1.7 litre and 2.0 litre (single carburettor) variants, in "L", "HL" and "HLS" trims. Instead of the previous premium 2.2 litre models, there were the HLS and later Vanden Plas trim levels, both with a twin-carburettor version of the 2.0 litre engine. In 1983, the 2.0 litre HL was upgraded to also use the more powerful twin-carburettor engine.
The Ambassador was built in right hand drive only and thus was never exported.
The Ambassador was discontinued in 1984, with no official replacement. The gap it left in the Austin-Rover range was effectively filled by the slightly smaller Montego, and by the new generation of smaller Rovers.

Bicycle

Bicycle : - The bicycle, bike, or cycle is a pedal-driven, human-powered vehicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other.
Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions.
They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for such uses as children's toys, adult fitness, military and police applications, courier services, and competitive sports.

The basic shape and configuration of a typical bicycle has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885. Many details have been improved, especially since the advent of modern materials and computer-aided design. These have allowed for a proliferation of specialized designs for particular types of cycling. The bicycle has had a considerable effect on human society, in both the cultural and industrial realms. In its early years, bicycle construction drew on pre-existing technologies; more recently, bicycle technology has, in turn, contributed both to old and new areas.

Rajdoot

Rajdoot: - The Rajdoot 350 was a two-stroke motorcycle made in India by Escorts group from 1983 to 1990. It was a licenced copy of the very popular Yamaha RD350B, modified to suit Indian conditions. Many Indian motorcycle connoisseurs consider it to be the best two-stroke ever made in India. Even though the production of the aircooled Yamaha RD350 had ended in Japan in the mid 1970s due to stringent emissions norms, it was a technically advanced motorcycle in the Indian market in 1983. It had 7-port two stroke parallel twin engine, Yamaha's patented Torque Induction system using reed valves, 6-speed transmission, Autolube system, mechanical tachometer,12V electrics and 0-60km/h in less than 4 seconds. In the interest of cost, the front disc brake of the RD350B was substituted with a 7" Twin leading shoe drum brake from the Yamaha RD250.

It was primarily targeted at the venerable Royal Enfield Bullet 350 which was the biggest capacity bike in India at the time. The Yezdi Roadking 250 was another formidable competitor. However, the Rajdoot 350 was not a commercial success due to its relatively high fuel consumption in a cost-conscious Indian market. High purchase price, poor availability of expensive spare parts and lack of trained service personnel did not help either. After the runaway success of its smaller stablemate Yamaha RX 100 introduced in 1985, the Rajdoot 350 stayed in production as a flagship model, and production ended in 1990. The last bikes were reported to be sold in 1991.

A variety of issues hindered the sales of RD350 in India. Maintenance of an RD350 was not an easy task as Escorts service network was not so good in those days, and there were not enough trained mechanics who could handle its twin-cylinder engine. Spare parts were neither readily available nor very affordable. The HT's fuel consumption was 22km/ltr (Urban)16 (Mixed), that of the LT was 26km/Ltr - figures considered quite steep by most of the population at the time.

Bajaj Chetak

Bajaj Chetak : - The Bajaj Chetak 150 MT is an old-time favourite from the house of Bajaj. This 150cc scooter will be on its way out by the year 2000. Newer variations are undergoing trials in the R&D department, but for now, the Chetak is one of the best-selling two-wheelers in the semi-urban and rural markets.

A large fuel tank and an average fuel consumption figure of 42 kpl leads to a reasonable interval between fuel tank toppings. The problem is the two-stroke engine, which generates the seven-plus bhp that powers the bike. It consumes more petrol as compared to the rest. The plus points are a tough body, low maintenance and initial cost and good resale value. The minus points are poor averages, unbalanced ride, stiff gear-shifting, lacklustre braking and higher pollution levels. This model is not Y2K proof.
