What REALLY Happened to British Leyland? The Shocking Truth British Leyland once dominated UK roads, employing over 250,000 people and controlling iconic brands like Austin, Morris, Rover, Triumph, Jaguar, MG, and Land Rover. Yet within two decades, it collapsed into chaos, strikes, and ridicule. This documentary-style deep dive reveals the shocking truth: government-engineered mergers, bitter class conflicts, disastrous cars like the Marina and Allegro, militant unions, management blunders, and hidden government plans to let the company fail. From the Mini and Range Rover’s brilliance to the Allegro’s quartic wheel, we explore how a national giant squandered billions and shattered communities, leaving foreign manufacturers to rebuild Britain’s car industry.
