Leyland ashamed of its name?

SO LEYLAND has finally managed to back a winner — Saudia Williams. Somewhat ironic, though, that it should be Ford powered. Another outstanding example of good old Leyland's management ineptitude!
First, it seems, you have to kill off two of the finest racing names in motoring history — MG, whose TT victories and record-breaking successes are still legendary, and Riley, whose engines powered the allconquering ERA's and whose cars made many racing drivers household names. Then you have to back a car with a competition power unit because it's better than anything you have.
Leyland must have swallowed a great deal of pride to do that! Pity Sir Michael didn't have the guts to weld his workforce together by producing a car under the banner of his own companies. What better than an MG, Riley or even Jaguar? I know, under Leyland's organisation it probably wouldn't win! D. G. STYLES, Hounslow, Middlesex
