Well, there all the Austin Counties: Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, etc, and pre-war they used another range of names, like Windsor, Clifton, Ascot, Cambridge, etc.
And of course, Morris was there with Oxford and Cowley, and later with the Isis (if you are going to include rivers!). _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline

Ford Capri and Cortina.
Vauxhall Firenza sort of, if you're slightly poor at spelling, or Google or eBay. In that when I search either, I invariably get postcards of old Florence (the city). |

Westminster
Harley
Ascot
Kempton

Cambridge
Sherborne
Winsor
