Pat 1950 BMC

Advertiser for British Motor Corporation

In the 1950s and 1960s, BMC established assembly plants in several countries to meet local demand and circumvent import restrictions. While Canada was not a primary site for full-scale manufacturing, there were facilities involved in the assembly and finishing of BMC vehicles. These operations typically involved importing complete knock-down (CKD) kits—partially assembled vehicles—and completing the final assembly locally.​

Specific details about the locations and operations of these Canadian facilities are limited. However, it is known that BMC vehicles, such as the Mini, were sold in Canada, indicating the presence of local assembly or finishing operations to meet market demands.
