Jaguar

Thank you all. Yes, Reckers, I can see how "bummed" could have a different connotation. The American Austin was also important as it gave birth to the Jeep. Unfortunately, the US Government didn't see American Austin as being able to satisfy demand so the contract to build it was given to to Willys and others. One wonders if American Austin had been given the contract, if it would have survived longer. Certainly, Mickey Mouse's car was an American Austin, and they were used in a number of films.

Yes, lots of other cars roots in Sevens. Issigonis developed his rubber springing, later used on the Mini, with his Seven based special in the thirties.
