Production of the Austin A90 Atlantic ended in 1952, from a total production run of 7,981, of which 3,597 were exported and 350 of those to the US. The four cylinder 2.7 liter engine could not compare in power output with native American V8 engines. A few A90 engines were also used in civilian versions of the Austin Champ, and the engine later saw service in the Austin-Healey 100. Many Atlantics were later broken up to supply spares for the Austin-Healey 100.
