  Austin Motor Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the help of the Seven Austin weathered the worst of the depression and remained profitable through the 1930s producing a wider range of cars which were steadily updated with the introduction of all-steel bodies, Girling brakes, and synchromesh gearboxes but all the engines remained as side valve units.
Austin were the dominant partner and their engines were adopted for most of the cars.
The principle of a transverse engine with gearbox in the sump and driving the front wheels was carried on to larger cars with the 1100 of 1963, the 1800 of 1964, the Maxi of 1969, the Allegro of 1973 and the Metro of 1980.

Austin and Morris merged in 1952 to form the British Motor Corporation and that year saw the appearance of the A30 with 803cc ohv engine, it was also Longbridge's first unitary construction car.
New models in 1955 included the Cambridge with A40 or A50 power units, together with the Westminster, which was fitted with a 2.6 litre six, Farina styling was a feature of the 1959 range, which saw further rationalization with MG, Morris, Wolseley and Riley offering badge-engineered versions of the Austin Cambridge theme.

Austin was in severe difficulties by 1921 and the situation was not helped by the introduction of the Horsepower Tax in that year.

Austin A60 Vans and Pickups were made for many years until the dawn of the Morris Marina Van and Pickups in about 1973, but these use the pre-Pininfarina body of the Austin A50 circa 1955 (depicted in the picture here).
But the Austin benefited from 10years of development since the Morris Minor was born and was therefore a much more modern car.
In about 1963 the Austin A40 was facelifted (with full width grille bars) and given the 1098cc engine at the same time as the Morris Minor.
