| Video Discription | Hello, and welcome to Part 1 of my 4 part series on the death of the British Car Industry, focusing on the politics, society, economics and decisions made over the course of a 70 year period that led from Britain being one of the largest car-making countries in the world to having no home-based indigenous car brands left. Part 1 focuses on the period known as the British Motor Corporation, the unhappy union of the UK's two largest mass-production car firms, Austin and Morris, to create the 4th largest car company in the world, but this combination of businesses would be the beginning of Britain's downward spiral in the automotive world, as deep-seated grudges and a hostile internal culture, alongside poor management decisions, militant trade unions, and an artificially inflated domestic market, meant that by the end of the 1960's, BMC was already in a precipitous position that was teetering on collapse at all levels, issues that would be exacerbated throughout the following decade.
