You certainly don't if it's the one in the picture! Austin-Rover is a codename for British Leyland, Austin themselves died years before your car was made.

It is, as the spec on the ebay website said it was, plus we took it to a garage and they did a check and said it was an Austin mini Mayfair, plus on the ebay listings it was under Austin.

I think anything after a G reg (think its 89) is when Austin had been bought by rover. Mines an Austin, and its an 87.

it makes no difference what the log book says. some peoples log book will say mini sky rose but you cant have both a sky and a rose, you have one or the other. the number of times i have seen an advert for a mini sky rose or a mini racing flame... oh it makes me want to bash my head against a wall :)

Just to really confuse matters. I've had Minis that have been down as Austin Morris with the DVLA.
