Holden CV8 / Jensen CV8.
Good example, and exactly what they OP was referring to, unlike most of the posts on this thread.At the time the Jensen and Interceptor, etc, etc. were registered in Australia, and in most markets in the world. But Australia has a "prior use" policy, and as CV8 had not been in use since 1966 (and probably not actually used in Australia by Jensen at all), then Holden could use CV8 quite legally.

Rover/BMW 420.
You forgot Jaguar. Rover/BMW 420.
Ford and Triumph (motorcycles) supposedly had a discussion about the proposed name for Ford's new 2-seater - although I would imagine that it was a pretty one-sided conversation given the size and nationality of the two companies.

Some good info. there and actually gives a reason as to why the name could be used. Do we have any more reasons for the crossovers?At the time the Jensen and Interceptor, etc, etc. were registered in Australia, and in most markets in the world.
