B.M.C. Production Record
28 July 1960
A new peak production record of 650,577 vehicles during the current financial year, which ends on Sunday, was announced today by the British Motor Corporation. The figure, which is provisional, shows an increase of 35 per cent over last year's total of 486,048, and of 30 per cent over the previous record in 1957-58. The company also announced that the number of vehicles exported to the North American market-110,340-was considerably more than had been anticipated.
