Subject: [Roadsters] Interesting historical note
I have sometimes heard Nissan/Datsun criticized by Euro-centric car enthusi=
asts for simply copying British designs. This was somewhat true after WWII,=
when Datsun was making Austin clones under license.
But I just ran across an interesting note in a Car and Driver Web article a=
bout BMW, which began with airplanes prior to WWI, then switched to motorcy=
cles after the war. Here=E2=80=99s the quote:
=E2=80=9C1928: To enter the car business, BMW bought the Dixi Automobil Wer=
ke, which was building Austin Sevens under license.=E2=80=9D
