Re-naming fatigue?
I think my former employer (British Leyland UK by the time I joined it) took this to something of an extreme. Without ever applying for a new job, over a period of fifteen years I worked for: the above; Leyland Cars; BL Cars; BL Systems; Istel. In addition, there had been multiple name changes both before I joined and after I left. Eventually it got sold off then dispersed into non-existence. And of course its former parent company (Rover Group by that time) went to the wall a few years later.

Coming back to the BVWS, I suppose I started from the nostalgia of the valve era of my childhood, then expanded the interest back to what had come before.
