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.
