Austin's rival to the Land Rover, built from 1958 to 1968. It looked similar but had a steel body rather than aluminium, and early ones rode on an unusual independent suspension using rubber springs. It never caught the Land Rover, and it was dropped after Austin and Rover ended up in the same group.
