I used to work for a tube company which was associated with Britax in a project for an alternative restraint system to seat-belts. The test-bed was an Austin (not Morris) Marina coupé with 5mph bumpers and left-hand drive, number AOL 744K. I imagine drivers must have felt secure with the system because it was probably the most crashed Marina in the Midlands.
