TR 2,3,3A,4,4A,5 and 6 cars also built by Triumph. TR7 and TR8 something different, but still not Frogeye. No connection until Leyland and BMC merged to form > British Leyland, an automotive engineering and manufacturing conglomerate formed in the United Kingdom in 1968 as British Leyland Motor Corporation Ltd, following the merger of Leyland Motors and British Motor Holdings.
