==Models produced under license== A variant of rebadging is licensing models to be produced by other companies, typically in another country. The earliest such vehicle was the [[Austin 7]] (1922–1939), designed and built by [[Austin Motor Company]] and licensed to other manufacturers across continents, which became their first-ever model. The [[American Austin Car Company|Bantam]] in the US that would eventually build the first [[Jeep]], [[BMW]] in Germany, and [[Nissan]] in Japan. {{Multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | image1 = Austin 7 (1932).jpg | caption1 = [[Austin 7]] | width1 = 168 | image2 = 1928 BMW Dixi Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon.jpg | caption2 = [[BMW Dixi]] | width2 = 168 | image3 = 1937 Datsun Model 16 Sedan 01.jpg | caption3 = [[Nissan]] [[Datsun]] Model 16 | width3 = 163 | image4 = 1939 American Bantam (5765343478).jpg | caption4 = [[American Austin Car Company|Bantam]] Speedster | width4 = 127 | image5 = Lotus Mark 1.jpg | caption5 = [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]] Mark 1 | width5 = 127 }} Among the post-war cars, the [[Fiat 124]] designed and built by [[Fiat]], Italy was licensed to various other manufacturers from different countries. It became a dominant car in many Eastern Europe and West Asian countries. {{Multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | image1 = Fiat124Luc106.jpg | caption1 = [[Fiat 124]], Italy and various countries | width1 = 170 | image2 = SEAT124.jpg | caption2 = [[SEAT 124]], Spain | width2 = 181 | image3 = 1989 Premer 118NE.jpg | caption3 = [[Premier Automobiles Limited|Premier]] 118NE, India | width3 = 161 | image4 = Lada 2101.jpg | caption4 = [[VAZ-2101|VAZ-2101 / Lada]], Russia and Eastern Europe | width4 = 165 | image5 = 1976 Tofaş Murat 124 (Koç).jpg | caption5 = [[Tofaş]] Murat 124, Turkey | width5 = 149 }} The [[Morris Oxford]] Series IV built by [[Morris Motors|Morris]] of England in 1955 would become [[Hindustan Ambassador]] in India and was manufactured until 2014. Another example of this is the British [[Hillman Hunter]], which was license-built in [[Iran]] as the [[Paykan]], as well as [[Naza]], building vehicles under license from [[Kia Motors|Kia]] and [[Peugeot]] (Naza 206 Bestari). A similar example of licensed badge-engineered products would be the [[Volga Siber]], a rebadged version of the [[Chrysler Sebring]] sedan and the [[Dodge Stratus]] sedan produced in Russia from 2008 until 2010.
