Roof, sorry - I've just realised you said 'hints'. I don't think it would have been possible to give any more nudges for the V word, as there's been so much already. The short D word is thematic - I'd never heard of it.

I've got most of the answers but have got in a right mess filling the grid.
There are only two 11 letter answers. Does the H go on the left or right?

Thanks Malone, that should help me on my way.
Glad I printed more than one copy!

You're welcome, Rossim. I used a pencil - and very lightly!

Thanks Malone
Is that a theme? I've never heard of it.

I did find a reference to the short D word in a US context, but as it seemed to be fully defined by the clue, I'd assumed it wasn't the theme word. I must now see where it should be in the grid to make it horizantal.

Yes, it was a Vauxhall - apparently! I'd never heard of the J or the D either.

Thank you everybody. I've finished now. I found a swap for my short D which puts it horizantal.

I've an answer for the second F, though I can't fully parse it. But enough now.

As far as I recall both the thematic A and the thematic D were Austins ; the thematic V was a Vauxhall. The thematic J stopped being made a long time ago: the factory was in Bradford.
