Default Austin 7

That Austin 7 may be the ancestor of the Jeep, in a way. IIRC, the Bantam Car company was founded to produce a U.S.-licensed Austin 7. Bantam made the first "jeep" design, and may have even used the Austin engines in the prototypes. Without checking the books, am I more ore less right about that?
