In this video we cover British Leyland’s worst mistake and the biggest missed opportunity with the cancellation of this innovative small car British Leyland’s fate was sealed which through the turmoil of its life ended in its collapse.

This car the BMC 9X was the replacement to the Mini, a car years ahead of the competition. In this video we cover its story and how BL snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

We also cover the Metro, Ford’s Fiesta, Austin Allegro, BMC 1100 and 1300 to give the full picture of the chain of events leading to this colossal mistake.
