Interesting quote from the 1970 interview with Lord Stokes (then new boss of BL in BMC take over):

Do you make profit selling overseas ?
Lord Stokes – "On some cars we make money overseas. On others it's very marginal. Any manufacturer makes more money on the domestic market. There is very little profit in selling- a car anywhere. In a good year the profit on a car like the Mini is only £4 to £5. You have to sell a million to make £4,000,000 or £5,000,000 profit."
