The Millionth Austin
Although later calculations suggest it probably wasn't the actual millionth car off the production line, this 1946 Austin Sixteen was chosen as the symbolic 'Millionth Austin' and signed by everyone involved in its manufacture. Unfortunately the signatures seem to have been done in pencil and left unprotected, so the passage of time has made them all but invisible and the car can't even be washed, yet alone restored. It is displayed in a corner of the Heritage Motor Centre, safely cordoned off to prevent stray fingers damaging the fragile finish.
