Insiders say production is extremely unlikely to resume. So looks like end of an era.

This was the car in which I learnt to drive.

58 Morris Oxford (must've been one of the last before the Pinnfarina-styled successors) was my first ever car.

Slow, cumbersome, brakes wouldn't stop a clock but roomy enough for four squaddies and their luggage. Comfortable too with those big old leather seats, and the boot was huge.

They made another model, a Fiat 1100 clone. That was the one I fancied despite its probable inferiority to the real thing.

That was Premier Motors. The Padmini aka the Fiat 1100 Delight.
