dsl ◊ 2023-07-15 12:32	Article on A70 Hereford Countryman says predecessor A70 Hampshire produced by Papworth in Cambridge as a commission from Austin "It was branded Countryman and a 900 were produced, plus 200 commissioned separately by London agent Car Mart but based on the A70 chassis cab, rather than the saloon. The official wagons mostly went for export, but the Car Mart variants found a home market as television Outside Broadcast Vehicles, service barges for motorsport teams and hotel taxis." I knew about the 900 official Austin batch, but hadn't heard about the 200 for Car Mart before.
