Motorways changed how we travelled and how we live

The construction of motorways opened Britain up, of course, making cars even more of a must-have for people up and down the country, and Austin were there at the forefront, producing expertly crafted vehicles that were reliable, affordable and somehow always perfectly in tune with the times…

And this is apparent in modern day motoring, as interest in electric Austin cars just seems to grow and grow. Were the great man still amongst us today, we at the Austin Motor Company (AMC) – producers of fully electric, environmentally-friendly cars – like to think that Lord Austin would rather enjoy a Sunday afternoon spin in the new, Austin Arrow!
