British Leyland were partly a construct of Labour's industrial policy under Tony Benn*, they were a bit of a mess. But due to the tariffs on imported cars you didn't see many BMWs, Mercedes, Alfas around, so they remained the car of choice through the 70s.
WTO tariffs on cars are 10% so I would've thought that UK produced cars will become more popular again, though I guess most people will be willing to pay thousands to the government just to own an Audi, BMW etc.
