British Motor Holdings
# British Motor Holdings

British Motor Holdings Limited (BMH) fue un holding del motor británico surgido en 1966 de la absorción por parte de British Motor Corporation (BMC) de Jaguar Cars y de la Pressed Steel Company, principal suministrador de paneles de carrocería tanto para Jaguar como para la propia BMC.

## Historia

### Toma de control por el gobierno Wilson

El Partido Laborista llega al poder en 1964, en un momento de declive de la industria del motor británica. Para salvar a la industria y garantizar los puestos de trabajo el nuevo gobierno tomó la decisión de favorecer las fusiones de empresas de modo que pudieran competir con las multinacionales americanas y europeas. Chrysler Europe había adquirido el Grupo Rootes, mientras que el conglomerado Leyland Motor Corporation había comprado Standard-Triumph en 1961 (y años después se haría con Rover). En este contexto, Austin y Morris, empresas principales de British Motor Corporation (BMC) habían pasado de copar el mercado en las décadas anteriores a sufrir una caída dramática en sus ventas. Como solución el ministro de tecnología Tony Benn presiona para conseguir una concentración de empresas en torno a BMC que llevaría a la adquisición de Pressed Steel en 1965 y de Jaguar Cars en 1966, cambiando el nombre por el de British Motor Holdings el 14 de diciembre de 1966.
