	BL Triumph 1300 notebooks from Leyland Motors
		Shown below are 2 identical notebooks, issued by the Leyland Motor Corporation I guess at the back end of the 1960s or very early in the 1970s.
		In this case it was the Leyland Triumph 1300 that was being given some coverage on the cover of these neat notepads, which measure 2" x 2.5".
		The joys of lousy British Leyland quality assurance and build quality in the 70s meant that the post-1300 Dollies would often fall apart with depressing regularity (especially the Sprints and 1850 versions).

	The Leyland Story: Part 1: 1896-1946 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Leyland Motors offered a range of its own factory built bodies to compliment the various chassis types, an option not normally offered by chassis manufacturers at the time, though most of the bus and charabanc bodies were built for them by the United Electric Car Company of Preston, up until about 1911.
		By the time of the 1927 Commercial Motor Show, Leyland Motors was already established at the forefront of passenger vehicle manufacture and cemented its lead with the introduction of the 'Titan' double-deck and 'Tiger' single-deck chassis.
		Between 1942 and 1945, Leyland Motors' production was given over entirely to the manufacture of vehicles for the war effort and it was not until December 1945 that buses were once again built, and it was some six months later in 1946 before full production was again attained.

	LEYLAND
		Leyland has a long and distinguished history dating from 1896, when James Sumner and the Spurrier family founded the Lancashire Steam Motor Company in the town of Leyland, in North West England.
		It is probable that the reason why the name 'Leyland' was maintained within the group name since merging the in 1968, was that Leyland had largest share of revenue within the new motor group.
		However the 'Leyland' group name under which cars were made, ended after 15 years of usage, when the motor group was renamed to Austin-Rover in 1983.

	BBC - h2g2 - British Leyland - a History
		British Leyland has long been a metaphor for all that went wrong with British manufacturing industry in the 1970s, with tales of strikes, under-investment, mismanagement, government intervention, and falling market share.
		But at its conception, British Leyland was intended to be a conglomerate to rival General Motors in the worldwide market, and was viewed as the only way the British motor industry could remain competitive.
		In 1967, Leyland Motors bought Rover, which by then had completely shut down Alvis, and in 1968 Leyland Motors merged with British Motor Holdings to create The British Leyland Motor Company.

	Leyland
		Leyland Motors grew from the Lancashire Steam Motor Company, founded in the town of Leyland, North West England by the Sumner and Spurrier families.
		In 1920 came the Leyland 8, a luxury tourer that would soon find its way to the racetrack at Brooklands, being driven by J. Parry-Thomas (who unfortunately would later be killed when making an attempt on the land speed record after the chain drive broke).
		With the Australian operation reportedly losing some $56 million, British Leyland would dispatch 31 year old David Abell to assume Managing Director responsibility, and given the financial difficulties being faced by the parent company it was obvious to most that he would shut down operation.

	CVs: Tata Motors or Ashok Leyland?
		In comparison, Tata Motors has witnessed a sharp turnaround in its margins and post the revival of car division, has managed to log in an improvement in margins year after year.
		While Ashok Leyland seemed to have also employed most of these techniques, the improvement in margins is not as prominent as Tata Motors.
		However, Tata Motors with its stronger balance sheet and diversified presence is relatively better poised to take advantage of the CV industry growth story.
