The 1970s were a time of highs and lows in the British automobile manufacturing business. The most obvious major event was the creation of British Leyland, the child of the merger of British Motor Holdings and Leyland Motors. Initially seen as a consolidation that would increase output, problems within the company and its relationship to labor unions resulted in it collapsing, becoming nationalized, and eventually sold off in pieces. At one time, it held some of the most famous British automobile marques under one roof. Today its last vestiges have long since been purchased and stripped for parts, sending Jags, Minis, and MGs to all four corners of global ownership.
The 1970s also saw the emergence of distinctly British versions of American brands. Ford and GM both had a major stake in car manufacture in the UK, and with touring car racing all the rage, it felt like all the major brands were racing cars one could buy, and it riveted the nation. Partnerships solidified between the likes of tuning house Cosworth and Ford, and as the oil crisis set in, demand for light, fuel-efficient British cars helped make some British cars even cooler. It was a time of cool cars on British TV shows and tremendous pride in Britain's comeback from the rationing and misery following WW2. How well do you know the iconic British cars of the 1970s?
