caption_attribution_description: English: A 1973 Austin Victoria MKII De Luxe. Photographed at the Alec Issigonis centenary rally at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, UK. The Austin Victoria is, similarly to the Austin Apache, a derivative of the BMC's Austin/Morris/1100. The Victoria was built at the Authi car plant in Pamplona, Spain.
context_page_description: The Authi car company of Pamplona, Spain, was founded in 1965 as a result of a collaboration between BMC and NMQ.
  BMC needed a way to sell their cars in Spain, which at the time had strict rules to protect local automobile manufacturers from imported competitors and to protect local companies from foreign takeover. Thus, Authi built almost identical copies of a range of Austin and Morris cars. The company survived only until 1976 when British Leyland ran out of money and the almost new Authi plant was sold to the SEAT car company after the failure of a bid for it from General Motors.
