Herbert Austin died 85 years ago, 5 years after he was ennobled Baron Austin of Longbridge, the part of Birmingham which is synonymous with “The Austin” works. For over 80 years the Austin name adorned millions of cars which brought motoring to the masses. From the Seven to the Metro with the Mini in between, Austin and Morris were the founding fathers of British mass car ownership. The A30 is now 75 years old whilst at 70, the Healey 100-6 refuses to grow old gracefully.
