i thought it would admitt "BMC" as make but what should it be then? All the name (British Motor Corporation)? Because this is the prototype, it wasn't an Austin nor a Morris yet (no logo) |

......But the covered badge is definitely the shape for Austin and not the 'wingled-disc' shape for Morris. |

This is a pre-production car of 1958 with the grille that Issigonis wanted for the Austin Se7en. At that time the code was XC9003. The ADO15 code was used for the production cars. |

Pre-production is right, XC9003 is not: note the different grille. http://www.maggie31.com/images/xc9003-1957.jpg |

Your picture shows how it looked like in 1957. In 1958 it was modified to the above look. |

Reused from /vehicle.php?id=826714 . This is not the famous XC9003, but XC9003 seems best description - see comments on that page and other entries in that film. |
