British Motor Corporation Ltd..
Longbridge, Birmingham.
THE reason that Austin and Morris are included under the BMC heading is that from January 1 all commercial vehicles from the Corporation from the J4 van upwards will carry a BMC badge instead of the individual marque names. This applies only to sales in the UK.
The only official BMC p.s.v. is a 13-seater coach. This is based on the new 250 JU series which has replaced the 12-seat Austin/Morris J2 16/18cwt Omnicoach/Minibus.
There are two versions of the 250 JU coach, one having a 1.622cc 49 b.h.p. petrol engine while the other has a 1,489cc 40 b.h.p. diesel.
Goods chassis are frequently adapted for p.s.v. use abroad and popular in this category have been the FG K60 3-tonner and the FG K80 4-tonner. Both models are available with either a 4-litre petrol or a 3.8 litre diesel engine and the drive is through a four-speed gearbox. The usual wheelbase for passenger bodywork is 12ft lin.
