Leyland Tractors
Leyland tractors was a tractor manufacturer in the United Kingdom. It was created after the merger of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) with Leyland Motors to form British Leyland in 1968. Nuffield Tractors had been started after World War II by Lord Nuffield owner of Morris Motors Limited which had become part of BMC in 1951.

When Leyland took over Nuffield the Nuffield name still appeared until 1969 before it was completely abolished.

The bodywork and colour scheme was changed, and Leyland introduced its own Cab to comply with safety regulations. The engines were replaced by the 98 series engines, 4/98 and 6/98, representing t ...

British Leyland
British Leyland was a British automotive engineering and manufacturing Conglomerate (company), conglomerate formed in 1968 as British Leyland Motor Corporation Ltd (BLMC), following the merger of Leyland Motors and British Motor Holdings. It was partly nationalised in 1975, when the British government created a holding company called British Leyland, later renamed BL in 1978. It incorporated much of the British-owned motor vehicle industry, which in 1968 had a 40% share of the UK car market, with its history going back to 1895. Despite containing profitable marques such as Jaguar Cars, Jaguar, Rover (marque), Rover, and Land Rover, as well as the best-selling Mini, BLMC had a troubled history, leading to its eventual collapse in 1975 and subsequent part-nationalisation. After much restructuring and divestment of subsidiary companies, BL was renamed the Rover Group in 1986, becoming a subsidiary of British Aerospace from 1988 to 1994, then was subsequently bought by BMW.
