  • How British Leyland Grew Itself to Death by Geoff Wheatley British Car Network
    How British Leyland Grew Itself To Death By Geoff Wheatley British Car Network I have always wondered how a British motor company that made trucks and other commercial vehicles, ever got its hands on Jaguar, Triumph, and of course MG. Furthermore, how this successful commercial company managed to lose the goodwill and loyal customers of these popular vehicles. The story starts some fifteen years before British Leyland became part of the domestic vehicle market in the UK, and of course overseas, especially for Jaguar, a top international brand name in the post war years. In the early 1950s the idea of Group Industries was the flavor of the month. Any company worth its salt was ready to join forces with a willing competitor, or several competitors to form a “Commercial Group”. In consequence we had the Textile Groups, International Banking Groups, The British Nylon Group, Shell and BP Group etc. The theory was simple, by forming production groups producing similar products and exchanging both marketing and production techniques, costs would be reduced and sales would increase. The British Government, who had an investment in the British Motor Industry to help the growth of exports to earn needed US Dollars, was very much in favor of the Group Policy being applied to the major production companies in the UK including the Nuffield Organization and Austin Corporation. Smaller companies like Jaguar who were also successful exporters were encouraged to take the same view on production and sales, however they did not jump on the “Group” bandwagon and remained independent for a few more years.

  • Biographicalroster
    Talbot Arts Biographical Roster of Board of Directors and Executive Director Fiscal Year 2021 NANCY S. LARSON, PRESIDENT Nancy Stoughton Larson was born in Evanston, Illinois, and raised in Milwaukee. The arts were always important in the Stoughton household--symphony, theater and museums. She studied both piano and clarinet during her school years and was also an apprentice for a professional summer stock theater company. She earned a degree in nursing from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and worked in that field for 20 years, ending as a director of nursing services. The one constant during that time was her love of music, and when her husband, Bruce, was transferred from the Northwest to the East Coast, she decided to make a career change. Nancy earned a BA in music history and literature and a MS in music education from Towson University, where she afterward taught for 12 years as an adjunct faculty member. One of her most popular teaching assignments was Women in Western Music, and she also taught the History of Baltimore through the Arts and an Introduction to Music History. The Larsons moved to Easton in 2013 and she has since been involved with Chesapeake Music, primarily as co-chair of the International Chamber Music Competition Committee. She is delighted with this involvement as it allows her to support marvelous, talented young musicians as they make their way in the very competitive field of classical music. She is well aware of this challenge as son Eric has traveled this road and is now a member of the Houston Symphony.

One hundred years ago to the day, the first ‘Bullnose’ Morris Oxford was built by William Morris just a few hundred metres from where the modern MINI plant stands. With a weekly production of just 20 vehicles in 1913, the business grew rapidly and over the century 11.65 million cars were produced, bearing 13 different British brands and one Japanese. Almost 500, 000 people have worked at the plant in the past 100 years and in the early 1960s numbers peaked at 28,000. Today, Plant Oxford employs 3,700 associates who manufacture up to 900 MINIs every day. Congratulating the plant on its historic milestone, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Government is working closely with the automotive industry so that it continues to compete and thrive in the global race and the success of MINI around the world stands as a fine example of British BMW Group Company Postal Address manufacturing at its best.

  • Austin Motor Company
    Austin Motor Company Few names in British motoring history are better known than that of Austin. For many years the company claimed that ‘You buy a car but you invest in an Austin’. A young Herbert Austin (1866–1941) travelled to Australia in 1884 seeking his fortune. In mid 1886 he began working for Frederick Wolseley’s Sheep Shearing Machine Company in Sydney. Austin returned to England with Wolseley in 1889 to establish a new factory in Birmingham, where he became Works Manager. Austin built himself a car in 1895/6 followed a few months later by a second for Wolseley, a production model followed in 1899. A new company, backed by Vickers, bought the car making interests of the Wolseley Company in 1901 with Austin taking a leading role. Following a disagreement over engine design in 1905 Austin left, setting up his own Austin Motor Company in a disused printing works at Longbridge in December of that year. The first Austin was a 4 cylinder 5182cc 25/30hp model which became available in the spring of 1906. This was replaced by the 4396cc 18/24 in 1907. 5838cc 40hp and 6 cylinder 8757cc 60hp models were also produced. The 6 cylinder engine also formed the basis for a 9657cc 100hp engine used in cars for the 1908 Grand Prix. A 7hp single cylinder car was marketed in 1910/11. The company expanded rapidly, output growing from 200 cars in 1910 to 1100 in 1912. By 1914 there was a three model line-up of Ten, Twenty and Thirty. The Austin Company underwent a massive expansion during World War I with the workforce growing from 2,600 to more than 22,000.
