By 1939, when production finally ended, 290,000 cars and vans had been made. The Austin 7 had been produced since 1922 and was nicknamed the Baby Austin. Such was the power of the Austin 7 name that the company reused it for early versions of the A30 in 1951 and for the Mini in 1959, as well as an Austin 7 hp car built in 1909 by Swift of Coventry. It was the end of the Baby Austin. Production at Longbridge ended after seventeen years.
