Awesome.. thanks everyone for the leads!
Thinking of doing some destination drives this year to visit the birthplaces (or I guess it would be delivery wards?). If anyone has pictures of the locations, post them up. For fun I will take pics to compare how the site has changed.

I know of one and I live in BC! British United Automobiles, 737 Church St., Toronto. I found the address on Google Maps but it looks be all redeveloped. This address came to me from a piece of paper in a batch of BMC parts I picked up. I did a little digging online and found a list of all Austin MG Distributors & Dealers in Canada in 1971.

Does anyone have a listing of where the Mini dealerships used to be in the GTA? Pictures of the old dealerships would be cool too. Toronto/Hamilton/Barrie etc.
