Manufacturers typically have some external distinguishing artifacts when different engines, trim-levels and pricing are involved.
One can start out looking at hood dimensions, engine-compartment layout, wheel and tire sizes, badging, ...
Too many things... |

The differences between the two with regard to the dimensions and weight according to this comparison are:
(1) Rear Track - difference 5 mm
(2) Length - difference 115 mm
(3) Kerb weight - 7 kg
Still it doesn't help me in differentiating between a B95 and B105 by looking at a picture.
I get this picture whenever I search for B95 as well as B105. Even you have used this same pic in your post. Seems there is some way to distinguish between the two, please share it with us.  |
Whoops?! How did I miss this topic?
Visually there was little or no difference in the 95/105 (much as is the case in our earlier Ford Escorts and Ikons except for their engines and some minor unnoticable trim)
Heres what the difference between the Berekley 95 and 105 actually is;
The figures 95 and 105 indicate the top speed of the car in miles per hour (144/152 km/hr). The engines were Royal Enfield 692cc twins of 41 bhp @ 5500 rpm in the 95 and a more highly tuned version that gave 51 bhp @6250 rpm in the 105. Thats all.
Hope that solves the confusion
Guess they didn't have much to change in the cars as there were only 194 made and remained in production only for one year i.e. 1959 (I think)
