Fairey must also have built the overdrive units used by Land-Rover. I'm sure
the badges on the rear of Land-Rovers reading "Overdrive by Fairey" have
given more than a few juvenile laughs. My own L-R has overdrive by
Superwinch, and rear badging reading "Overdrive by Superwinch", but for a
switched vowel it might be considered a feminist statement;-)
