Remembering Landmaster - transmission (Subrata Sen)

Hindustan Landmaster was originally Morris Oxford Series II, introduced in the UK in 1952. It had the smoothest transmission (possibly better than the Ambassador) and fantastic side valve engine. I felt the suspension was also superior to Ambassador which was introduced in 1958 initially with side valve engine and later from 1960 the OHV engine which continued for the next 2 decades or more.
