An Austin Mini..... or possibly an Innocenti Mini seeing as the film is set in Spain. Any ideas? |
|

Wasn't Innocenti in Italy rather than Spain? |
|

Of course, INNOCENTI is an italian make. There were Innocenti in Spain too, as in any country in werstern Europe, but I'm not sure these have been selled as miuch as the Austin or Morris was? |

Je vois, je vois...je n'ai pas l'intention de soulever un nouveau lièvre! Toutes les Mini doivent respect à la couronne britannique, et je comprend que le nom d'Authi puisse être supprimé au profit de Morris! Comme IMCDB ne peux pas parler de toutes les voitures vues au Cinéma, ces Mini plutôt rares présentent plus d'intérêt que leurs congénères anglaises... |

En fait la question est : même si elles étaient fabriquées par Authi, étaient-elles vendues et enregistrées comme des "Authi", ou comme des Morris/Austin ? |

From http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?authiindexf.htm which includes a history of the Authi manufacturing plant. "Minis, Authi Mini 1968-1975. The Spanish variation of the Mini was launched in October 1968, as the "Morris Mini 1275C". A wide range of other models followed." The brands Austin, Morris and MG are all mentioned for the BMC vehicles produced by Authi. In more detail here.... http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?minispainf.htm ...the Makes and Models all use the Austin, Morris and Mini names and not Authi. |

The problem is that the author of the excellent austin-rover.co.uk uses the name of Authi in order for the reader to understand that it is a variant!!!and also says: "In official Authi circles, were any of these Authi-built Mini models ever designated as Authi Mini 1000, or whatever? I have only found one mention of the "Authi" designation being used before the word "Mini" in literature on the Authi-produced Minis, although this was not an official Authi advert. The "Authi Mini 1275 C" was mentioned in a press advert advertising British Leyland special tuning parts for sale by a company in Madrid called "Tremaosnur". They were also Authi main dealers" I had a 1975 Authi 1300 cooper. I named it like that in order to make things clear to everybody. This car was registered as a "Morris Cooper 1300", no mention of Mini anyway on this spanish papers. On the body, just a "Leyland españa" on the wings.... But you are right Sunbar saying that the badge "Authi" never existed! So I perfectly understand it is correct to employ Austin, Morris...and uncorrect to employ Authi even it helps greatly to understand. Perhaps should we had "nickname"?  |

I'm glad with Morris, and with all that comments, people will be now aware of spanish BMC products... |
|

We can add "Authi" as nickname in extra info .gif ";)") |
|
◊ 2006-07-18 18:24 |
Authi was new to me..... but in any case the amount of Spanish content makes it right that it is recognised. |
|
◊ 2006-07-18 19:10 |
I wouldn't put 'Authi' as a nickname but rather say 'made by Authi'. This way it is obvious that Authi is (was) a car producer. BTW, we had this discussion before: /vehicle_15257-Morris-1100-ADO16-1966.html |

I agree with Alex, Authi can't be presented as nicknames are 'xxx' or it can make confusing.. As writting Austin-Authi Mini 1000 seems impossible, it's better to give the information in the extra-info field. I think we shall find many others examples of such a case when the origin make is kept as commercial name, but some differences due to local make is present ( Renault FASA for ex...) Then, would you mind if we could agree upon a rule for how to present the specificities of makes for specific market though there are importations or local make? I'd suggest to put - any info specific of make or model between parenthesis : e.g (made by Authi) (USA) (F) (GB) ... for model with specificities of market or adapted for a particular market (replica) (modified )..etc.. - the nicknames between ' ... ' as we already do |

Do you agree ? |
|
◊ 2006-07-18 19:55 |
Pour moi c'est ok! J'agree. |
|

Use of (...) for such car is probably the best solution. It is only for the countries that I find that not always very noticeable, I still think that a flag would be better  |
|
◊ 2006-07-18 20:57 |
Yes, I think that is a good suggestion. |
|
◊ 2006-07-18 21:46 |
The idea of a flag seduce me too...Nice to see a "Safrar" 404 with an Argentinian flag |

At least two different cars were used according to the Behind the scenes, the data for both cars are as follows: M3852AH 1974 MORRIS MINI 850 L M6086V 1973 MORRIS MINI 850 |

Useful info - updated. My understanding that Morris name with 850 ended with short-lived Mk2 Feb-Oct 70 Authi Morris Mini 850 Mk2; Mk3 replacement became Authi Mini 850. |
