Oh true... Yeah there's a slight mistake with that 68 Mini, definately can't be a 68 Leyland. |

Leyland bought BMC in 1968. All minis after the takeover are therefor Leylands!

mmm be careful attaching certain branding to cars from different countries - depending on what sold well and what the public perception of a brand was often dictated the nomenclature used. For instance although Austin and Morris sold side by side in australia throughout the sixties, the mini was only sold as Morris in Australia because Morris had a better reputation for quality and reliability which was important when launching something as radical as the mini. |
