message: Is de-mergers an actual term in use for this process? I would have said spun-off or sold off. Rmhermen 00:07, Oct 16, 2003 (UTC)
Don't know. "Sell-offs" if you like. But not "spin-offs" - I think that's when you have a small unit that grows and is then made independent - e.g university spin-off companies. Andy G 00:20, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: The Mini article is in the Wikipedia:Peer review process - perhaps heading towards Featured Article status.  I would greatly appreciate experts on BMC taking a look at it.  (If you find a problem, please either fix it or post your concerns on the Talk:Mini page.  TIA SteveBaker 20:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Suggest that there should be some discussion on the truck and LCV line, it wasn't just cars.
The BMC name is still used by BMC at Izmir, Turkey, who manufacture a range of trucks and LCVs using this tradename. Originally the vehicles were derivatives of the UK designs, but since BMC Turkey left BLMC, in 1983 or thereabouts, they have developed their own range. BMC are a strong player in Turkey, and export into Africa, ME and CARs.
I have added a list of the commercials I know of.  There could be more.Malcolma 09:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: In the project number list, we have the ADO number linked as well as (and separately from) the corresponding model name. In every case I looked at (which was admittedly not all of them) the ADO link was simply a redirect to the article on the model name...except for the cases where nobody had created a redirect - so we got a redlink.
We need to either create all of those additional redirects - (in which case it's kinda redundant to have the ADO number be a link as well as the name) - or we should not have the ADO's be links.

message: On this website  (the Cambridge-Oxford owners club), they say that the ADO40 (the Wolseley 24/80 or ADO40) was also numbered 'YDO 3'.  What the heck is that all about?  Was there another set of 'Design Office' numbers - in which case, what does the 'Y' stand for?  Enquiring minds want to know! SteveBaker 15:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

message: no accompanying article, and i'd like to read more about this, as I am currently utterly in the dark regarding any attempts by the Nuffield group to challenge the Austin FX taxis pre-merger.

message: Was Battista Farina actually hired to design the "Farina" cars?  By 1958 he was close to retirement, so it is more likely that his company Carrozzeria Pinin Farina was hired to do it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seftelcm (talk • contribs) 15:23, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
