·Don’t you have a vintage Ford? Is it the brown one?
Fords are popular that's true but they tend to lack the luxury and sophistication that Austin imbued in the early Austins, Henry Ford focused on manufacturing utility and price (lower was better) whereas Austins in the late 10's and 20's focused on luxury and reliability ( their watchword) and were in the same luxury league as Rolls Royce competing for the same top end customer. It wasn't until later when they ran into some financial difficulties that they began manufacturing cars that were cheap for the masses, Austin 7's and 10's.
12's 16's 18's and 20's were much more luxuriously appointed and better engineered with the emphasis being on reliable luxury.
