Jay,
        Other makes I can think of: Hillman Minx Mks 1-8! then they went to 
Series
1-5 (with 3A,B,C thrown in) Alpines Series 1-5 (lots of Rootes did this)
Then Jag E Series 3 (V12) though you rarely speak of 2 or 1. Then the Jag
Sedans of the 40's-50's.
        Wasn't there actually a Mark I Midget? Equivalent to Mark II Sprite?
Weren't they labeled (not badged) that way?
        Peter
