The British Motor Corporation came into being in 1952 with the merger of two great British motor companies namely, Nuffield Motors and Austin.

This is when Leonard Lord, chairman of British Motor Corporation went to engineer Alec Issigonis to design a car that could compete with the high-mileage German import cars.
