from the motoring words of the day, " You buy a car but you invest in an Austin " - their advertising slogan.


My father had Austin Sevens including a two door early 1930's Ruby, was the first car I remember in the mid 1950's , he went to Fords for a while with an E94A Prefect, then a Mark 111 Zephyr, then back to Austin with a 1968 Austin 1800 " Landcrab - a good car, and then a 1300 cc Allegro, it lasted him well but was not a good drivers car.
I think he believed in their advertising - the Zephyr was the best in my memory and he had that when I got my licence in 1965.
