Actually the manufacturers' names were Morris and Austin.  The Morris Minor
was a specific (and quite different) car manufactured by Morris.  It may
actually have been the forerunner of the Mini.  And the Austin Healey (most
notably the Austin Healey 3000) was a famous 2-seater, convertible
sportscar.
