Three New Cars Planned by BLMC in Australia
British Leyland Motor Corporation aims to invest 30 million dollars over three years to develop three new car types in Australia. Lord Stokes says the first model will be released later this year, the second in 1971, and a third by the end of 1972 to compete with the Holden range. He envisions exporting directly from Australia to New Zealand, Africa, South and North America, Asia, and Japan, while retaining MG, Rover, and Trump brands and dropping Riley.
