Just reading all the comments on budget brands, YES or NO with Austin for example. Does anyone know the full list of marques that MGR has owneship of?

The "Car design yearbook 1" says MG Rover own:

Austin
Austin - Healey
MG
Morris
Rover
Wolsely

although Rover is actually leased off BMW.

When the £10 deal went through, I remember Standard being on the list.

How about BMC? After all, some vans were badged BMC for a time.

I want a BM. No, not W. C!

Vanden Plas is another interesting one. It was a marque in its own right for quite a long time, after all.

It doesn't mention Standard, but I would presume that BMW held onto this one because of the name Standard-Triumph. Who owns Armstrong Siddley? They made some great cars!

Interestingly Peugeot own:

Citroen
Hillman
Humber
Panard
Simca
Singer
Sunbeam
Talbot

There are a number of places. The UK one is first, the Euro one is second.

(If you are intuiative, you will find out what the new 45 Hatchback is going to be called. I found it after a bit of digging - we can't publish the name on the forum though, due to embargo's.)

Exrover750owner I'm not intuiative so can you give us a clue as to the search criteria we should use. Alternatively just email it me, my lips are sealed honest!

If I was to say that it was registered to the Agent rather than the company, this would help.

MGROVERnut · 17-08-2003, 20:57

Right lets see if this website will let me type the following:

Traverse
Cromactive

Wrong!

Cromactive is the Monogram Paint and the other one has been mentioned before, but I can't remember for what.

MGROVERnut · 17-08-2003, 21:08

Doh back to the drawing board! I've figured out the Agent (it begins with a P right?)

I meant Pinsents as I would say Sainsburys or Tescos!
