In 1968 Leyland tractors was created after the merger of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) with Leyland Motors to form British Leyland in 1968. The agricultural department of the BMC, Nuffield tractors, had been started after World War II by Lord Nuffield owner of Morris Motors LTD. After the merger Leyland changed the colour from the Poppy Red of Nuffield to two tone blue which would eventually last right up to the early 1980s. Production moved to Bathgate in Scotland. Popular models included the: 154, 245, 253, 255, 262, 270, 272, 282, 285, 344, 384, 462, 472, 482 and 485. Then the "harvest gold" coloured: 602, 604, 702, 704, 802, 804 and the 904XL. BL then sold Leyland tractors in 1982 to Marshall Tractors Ltd and production moved to Gainsborough in Lincolnshire where the Leyland name was dropped for Marshall.
