Description
British Leyland - The Cars, 1968-1986 by James Taylor is a detailed look at the cars produced during this period. In 1968, British Leyland merged with several motor manufacturers to create a unified group, but this endeavour ultimately failed. This book focuses on the cars that emerged from the company, clarifying the complex production history and technical specifications of each model. The eighteen years of British Leyland's existence saw numerous car types being produced, often with overlapping characteristics. This book resolves these confusions, providing information on who built what, when, and including special overseas models. It also covers appendices on engines, code names, factories, and classic buying guidance for models built in Britain. For those interested in the history of British Leyland's automotive output, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the company's car production from 1968 to 1986.
