In 1959 when the Mini was launched, Austin and Morris Motors Motors has just joined to form the British Motor Corporation or BMC but for products still using the brand of Austin or Morris even though they are identical. In 1969, BMC joined with Leyland Cars, Jaguar and Land Rover to form British Motor Holdings but soon bought by Daimler and Jaguar BLMC renamed British Leyland (BL). This year, the names of the Austin Mini and Morris Mini eliminated and only a Mini, but for the international market the manufacturer's name continues to be used, such as in Indonesia remains a Morris Mini, while in America the name of the Austin Mini was still in use. BL holds licenses for brands such as Austin, Morris, MG, Land Rover, Wolseley, Riley and Leyland.

Entering the 1970s, the Mini is often called the Leyland Mini. In the period 1980, BL was nationalized because of financial problems and merged with Rover, so the company name became Austin Rover Group and Land Rover under British Leyland Group PLC.

In the end, the Mini was disqualified with an error that the fog lamp filament on the Mini is not in accordance with French traffic regulations.
