mini great car- (using Ciroen technology???-not sure)
...but where is it now, Morris and MG, Triumph, Rover, Jag etc etc...eventually forced into BMC, then that basically failed too.. BMW reinvents the mini decades later and its a huge hit... Jaguar was owned by Ford for awhile, now its owned by Tata of India of all things. Citroen meanwhile, still going. British motorcyles, never really recovered, Triumph still going but how well really?

Quote:
Morris, MG, Wolesley, Riley and Austin all formed into BMC around 1952, some years before the Mini was launched. The engine was an Austin design, Morris at the time of the merger, were still making a side valve engine. Jag, Triumph and Rover came in to the group called BMH, British Motor Holdings in the 60's. Jag and Rover now in the Tata group ........... makes me smile when I pick up a packet of Tetley tea to see they also belong to Tata, talk about diversifying. Finally, Triumph motorcycles are now a huge success story, come along way since they were reformed with new ownership. regards, Richard
