The British Motor Corporation Limited (BMC) was a UK-based vehicle manufacturer, formed in early 1952 to give effect to an agreed merger of the Morris and Austin businesses.[1]

BMC acquired the shares in Morris Motors and the Austin Motor Company. Morris Motors, the holding company of the productive businesses of the Nuffield Organization, owned MG, Riley, and Wolseley.[1]

The agreed exchange of shares in Morris or Austin for shares in the new holding company, BMC, became effective in mid-April 1952.[2]

In September 1965, BMC took control of its major supplier of bodies, Pressed Steel, acquiring Jaguar’s body supplier in the process. In September 1966, BMC merged with Jaguar Cars.[3] In December 1966, BMC changed its name to British Motor Holdings Limited (BMH).[4]

BMH merged, in May 1968, with Leyland Motor Corporation Limited, which made trucks and buses and owned Standard-Triumph International Limited, BMH becoming the major part of British Leyland Motor Corporation.

A subsidiary company called “British Motor Corporation Ltd” (later “BMC Ltd”) remained a part of BMH and BLMC, before being renamed “Austin-Morris Ltd”, thus the BMC name had completely disappeared from the public view. The Austin-Morris division of British Leyland consisted largely of the old BMC marques and operations.
