Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The company was founded in 1952 to unite the Austin Motor Co. Ltd., and Morris Motors Ltd. Its name was changed to British Motor Holdings Ltd. in 1966, BMC then becoming a main group subsidiary. In 1968, the company became British Leyland after a short period in limbo as British Motor Holdings and gradually transformed into the Rover Group, a part of BMW. BMC merged with the Pressed Steel Company at some point.
