The Corporation came into effect in mid-April 1952 as a holding company formed to give effect to an agreed merger of the Morris and Austin businesses.
BMC acquired the shares in both Morris Motors Limited and The Austin Motor Company Limited. Morris Motors Limited (the holding company of the productive businesses of the Nuffield Organisation) owned MG, Riley and Wolseley
BMC was the largest British car company of its day, with (in 1952) 39 percent of British output, producing a wide range of cars under brand names including Austin, Morris, MG, Austin-Healey and Wolseley as well as commercial vehicles and agricultural tractors. The first chairman was Lord Nuffield (William Morris) but he was replaced in August 1952 by Austin's Leonard Lord who continued in that role until his 65th birthday in 1961 but handing over, in theory at least, the managing director responsibilities to his deputy George Harriman in 1956.
In September 1965 BMC took control of its major suppliers (of bodies) Pressed Steel acquiring Jaguar's body supplier in the process.
In September 1966 BMC took control of Jaguar Cars Limited.
