The British Car Industry's FATAL MISTAKE - The Lost British Leyland ADO74

In this video we cover British Leyland’s worst mistake and the biggest missed opportunity with the cancellation of this incredible small car that could have gone head to head with cars like the Renault 5 and Ford's Fiesta. Regarding the photos, it is sadly not known which came first. I have tried to order them in terms of styling evolution, there were however several proposals. This car the British Leyland ADO74 a replacement forthe Mini, a car years ahead of the competition. In this video we cover its story and how BL snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. We cover ADO74 from conception to it's eventually fiery end, in the Longbridge tunnels. We also cover the Metro, Ford’s Fiesta, Austin Allegro, BMC 1100 and 1300 to give the full picture of the chain of events leading to this colossal mistake. We chart the decisions and cataclysmic events that changed BLs fortunes, from Austin Morris' strikes to Rover at Solihull covering the terrible mistakes that lead to the companies collapse.
