Austin A90 Atlantic...failed attempt at futuristic streamlined styling on the Austin devon chassis, not one of BMCs better ideas. |

But it did donate its engine to the Austin-Healey 100. |

Introduced in convertible form in 1949, three years before the creation of BMC, this car was purely an Austin design. It was the spearhead of L P Lord's attack upon the US market. The Americans did not want to pay Buick prices for a four cylinder car, however. |

On the A70 Hampshire chassis, actually. |
