	Austin Motor Company - Biocrawler
		The Austin Motor Company was British manufacturer of automobiles that rose to be a major motorcar brand, the dominant partner after merger with Morris in the 50's but declining after absorption into British Leyland.
		Around the 1920s the company produced the Austin 7, an inexpensive, small and simple car and one of the earliest to be directed at a mass market.
		Austin's historic assembly plant in Longbridge was, until its collapse in April 2005, MG Rover's only remaining plant.

	Austin History
		Austin was not new to motor manufacture for he had previously been with the Wolseley Company and had designed his first car - a 3 wheeler - in 1895.
		Austin's export programme has been waged with consistent vigour and it has been the aim of the company to provide adequate spare parts and maintenance facilities simultaneously with the development of new markets.
		Austins do not at present make a "baby car", although Mr Lord has publicly stated that the company has such a car in mind and that, if and when it is produced, it will be an Austin Seven.

		In the new company Herbert was soon joined by his brother Harry who was to remain loyal to him throughout his working life.
		The early days of the Austin Motor Company at Longbridge were often difficult and disaster was never far away.
		Launched at the 1922 London Motor Show, Herbert's fellow directors were highly sceptical of the possibilities for this seemingly skimpy car but the public thought otherwise and at £225 it could be afforded by people who had previously never had the wherewithal to afford a motor car.

	Lord Austin
		Austin was therefore able to acquire varied experience, and his adaptability and inventiveness were displayed by many patents taken out in his name at this period.
		Austin's early Australian experiences had necessitated long arduous journeys over very poor roads; and so, having had personal experience of slow and uncomfortable road travel, he was one of the earliest engineers in England to envisage the possibilities of the petrol-driven vehicle.
		Austin was made a baron in 1936 taking the title Lord Austin of Longbridge, after the name of the plant he had created.

	The Austin Motor Company
		The Austin 1800 also offers silent, high speed cruising with 90 mph maximum, unsurpassed road holding and cornering powers, excellent luggage space, and built in safety and longevity from what is probably the strongest body shell ever planned for quantity production.
		Although the Austin 1800 is over 9 inches shorter than an Austin A60 - itself a car of modest overall length at 14 feet 6.5 inches (4.43 metres) - the interior body and seat dimensions exceed those of cars of considerably greater external dimensions.
		In conclusion it may be said that the advanced design and quality of engineering inherent in the new '1800' is such that it is confidently expected to carry on the tradition of longevity established so convincingly by Lord Austin in pre-war days.
