Austin of England |
 |
1905 - 1987
GONE (FOR NOW) BUT NEVER FORGOTTON
For generations, both in the UK and abroad, the
English car was the AUSTIN. The Flying A, designed
by Dick Burzi, led travellers down roads as far aflung as
Rhodesia in Africa to North America. For generations of
motorists, the script Austin of England came to mean
engineering excellence, total reliability, and an almost
indefinable warm friendliness. If all the roads of Empire led to
London, then be sure that those roads were filled with Austins.
If God was indeed an Englishman, then be assured that he too
would have driven an Austin.
The advertising slogans of the period bear witness to this confidence:
- You BUY a car - You INVEST in an Austin!
- AUSTIN - you can depend on it!
- AUSTIN looks Years Ahead!
- Buy AUSTIN and be proud of it!
