cibup ◊ 2022-10-07 21:44	Yes, but all the others we have, either older or newer, are listed as Sava, I don't know if as default. In any case, it's the same, as they were made by Sava under Austin license. Anyway, if you judge better it could be listed as Sava-Austin but it would be the only one.
dsl ◊ 2022-10-07 22:48	I recently tried to dig around to get solid info on these Sava-built J4s for dates and names used, but it got very messy with several contradictory claims, both for this pre-facelift UK-style front (both Sava and Sava-Austin found), and then later for the Spanish-only facelift (when all sorts of permutations of Sava and/or Pegaso exist). And no reliable references for dates of whatever changes were made. Plus other inconsistencies for the BMC FG-based S-66 and other numberings (which seems to have been Sava-Austin) and the LDO-5 (based on UK BMC LD) which seems to have been just Sava. So I gave up trying to understand what was going on, and decided our current system is probably as good as it gets - we collectively use it without obvious hiccups or complaints. There is however an irony with all the Austin references - it seems that Sava's licencing agreements were always with the Morris legal department within BMC, never with Austin. And there is no hint anywhere of Sava-Morris or plain Morris name being used for any Spanish build. No idea why these decisions were made or who made them (UK or Spain??).

The Sava badging policy seems as complicated as the BLMC one, in England, for an outsider. But so fascinating too ;-) May it could be a task for the future ! Sava branding looks generally, and curiously, older than Sava Austin. It was a discovery for me, with this caption, so thank you for that !
