my doubt is if this car is actually an official Austin. i know the Marcos and the Jem both descend from the D.A.R.T.
Marcos was actually set up by Jem Marsh, which might explain some of the names used. The model as such was never an Austin or a Morris production version.

the name Msrcos and bankruptcies and resurrections under various names have gone hand in hand for the past 40 years or so....

technically it may be called differently, but they all stem from the first basic (and ugly) design...

...i will move it to the Marcos folder

Coste C2

btw i have another one, more of a doubt than a request: it is supposed to be a 1999 Coste C2, but that car has a 4 cylinder, while this have a V8 (written on the head of the engine at least) and beside the name, it has written on the back "kimberley". it's identical to the Coste btw, but this two facts put some doubts on my mind. didn't find something useful on google or wiki btw.

and then...the 1929 Golden Arrow, is an Irving Napier, as the most results on google say, or an Irving with a Napier engine, or just a car designed by Segrave himself and simply built by Irving? so, again, in which folder should i post those images?

This particular FJ is a prototype and would probably come with a hefty price tag. The hand-crafted Toyota is the first vehicle produced from scratch by TLC. The owner of TLC, Jonathan Ward, tells us thus far he has out approximately $185,000 into the design and build. We can only guess at the true value of this Land Cruiser, since Jonathan is quite renowned for his vehicle restoration and build abilities.

(from the article I've put a link to)
Thanks.

Last one is a Mini Clubman Estate. Light blue Mini looks like a regular Mini, the badge on the bonnet seems to say Mini as well.
