After reading yet another recent issue of "Thoroughbred and Classic Cars"
(I think) I learnt that Japan were actually building Austins at home after
the Second World War (I have a vague recollection of seeing a picture of
an Austin A40 Somerset in the article -- could be wrong though). If memory
serves me correctly (rarely!) the Japanese Austins were sold as Nissans.
Anyone else read that article?
