I spent 5 years living in Rednal and not working at the Austin. Instead I travelled daily to Shirley to the Lucas advanced research centre.
The Rednal library used to have every book about the British Motor Industry and very little else.
Did you know that the spec for the Austin seven was that it had to get up Rose Hill forward whilst fully laden. And that the brakes shoukdnt fail on the way down?
