For info on the development of the 1953-1958 MG Magnette, proceed on to the following web page. Morris Motors, BMC's "other half," was founded in Cowley, close to Oxford, by William R. Morris. He, too, was knighted (in 1929) and made a peer of the realm (in 1934), choosing the title Lord Nuffield. By that time, his enterprise, subsequently retitled the Nuffield Organisation, encompassed not solely the Morris and MG marques but additionally Riley and Wolseley, two of many corporations Sir William picked up alongside the way. This was Leonard Percy Lord, manufacturing wizard and self-styled automotive designer. Though Morris was Britain's dominant motor company as early as 1913, Lord helped make it even bigger -- only to be fired by Lord Nuffield in 1936 in a dispute over profit sharing. Vowing revenge, Len Lord acquired himself employed at Austin some two years later and was heading the place by 1942 (after Lord Austin's loss of life the earlier 12 months).
