Austin was a British automobile manufacturer founded by Herbert Austin in 1905, known for producing affordable and reliable cars that shaped the UK automotive industry. The company gained prominence with models like the Austin Seven, which revolutionized small car design in the 1920s. Over the decades, Austin merged with other British manufacturers, eventually becoming part of British Leyland. The brand continued producing iconic vehicles such as the Austin Mini, Metro, and Allegro before being phased out in 19892. Despite its discontinuation, Austin remains a significant name in automotive history, influencing modern car design and engineering.
