Austin Eight
The Austin Eight meant the end of the Austin Seven; even the 'Big 7' could not make the Austin 7 a winner. Launched in 1939, the Eight improved the 900cc sidevalve engine from the Seven, but gained a new chassis and body. Dick Burzi gave the Eight the Crocodile bonnet and chrome grille that were part of the new 'Lord Look' now that Leonard Lord was in charge. In 1947 the A40 Dorset replaced the Austin Eight, although the real replacement was the later Austin A30.
