chris40 ◊ 2012-05-18 08:28	So do I. Austin never referred to the A95 as Westminster in their publicity material, only the A105. Just saying ...
DynaMike ◊ 2012-05-18 13:15	We have all A95s listed as A95 Westminster. Should that be changed?
chris40 ◊ 2012-05-18 15:22	Oops, I got it wrong about the A105 ... Wikipedia says The Westminster name was dropped from the sales literature for the A95 and the A105 although, oddly, the drivers' handbooks still used the name Westminster to title the illustration of the saloon. The estate version was titled Countryman. Nevertheless, most enthusiasts still refer to them as Westminsters. Probably custom & practice would suggest leaving them alone.
