- This site provides a brief summary
and history
of the Zetland factory, the cars and people of the British Motor
Corporation and Leyland Australia.
-
Surviving only 25 years, from March 1950 to March 1975, it was the only fully British
component of "The Big Four", which also included
General Motor's Holden, Ford and Chrysler.
- The factory, built on the
site of the Victoria Park race track at Zetland, was only 3 miles
(5 km) from the centre of the city of Sydney and was one of the major employers in NSW in its heyday, and
many people owed their success to the training and experience gained at this
magnificent facility.
