Brakes on the Atlantic were initially a mix of hydraulic at the front and mechanical at the rear with 11 inch drums, replaced by a fully hydraulic brake setup from 1951 onwards on the hardtop coupe. The Atlantic of 1951 was in production at Longbridge as the A90 Atlantic Sports Saloon, powered by an engine based on the proven Austin A70 design, increased to 2,660 cc. The sports saloon was the main model by then.
