• Two additional models have extended the EA van range offered by Austin Morris division of British Leyland. The new versions—the 420EA and 440EA—are developments from the original 350EA announced last year. They are uprated to allow 2-ton payloads with gross weight limits of 4.2 and 4.4 tons respectively.
Like the 350EA, the basic 420EA has an 8ft 5in, wheelbase and a 274 cu. ft..body but a 10ft 2in. wheelbase version gives 322 cu. ft. and there is 390 Cu. ft. of space in the 440EA version which has the long wheelbase and extended rear overhang.
The basic. design of the body of the 420 /440EA is the same as the 350 and so is the general mechanical specification, but there is a small change to the braking system. There are larger wheel cylinders for the front and rear brakes to match the increased gross vehicle weight and braking effort is' substantially reduced by incorporating two' vacuum servos in the sy-stern.
