The Morris 250 JU (also available, initially, badged as the Austin 250 JU) was a forward control (driver's cab on top of the engine) light van launched by Morris Commercial in October 1967. It was offered with the familiar B series petrol engine in 1,622 cc (99.0 cu in) form. Claimed power output was 49 bhp, with a compression ratio of 7.2:1. The 250 JU replaced the Morris Commercial J2 and with the merging of the Standard, it also replaced the Standard Atlas. It also fell short of the more modest market place performance of British Leyland's own slightly more compact Morris J4.

  • Der Morris 250 JU (auch als Austin 250 JU) war ein Kleintransporter von BMC bzw. nach dem Zusammenschluss von British Leyland Motor Corporation. Er wurde als sogenanntes Forward-Nutzfahrzeug als Kastenwagen/Kleinbus oder Fahrgestell für Aufbauten gebaut. Fahrer und Beifahrer saßen auf dem Motor, dem B-Serie-Benziner mit 1622 cm³ und 36 kW (49 PS). Vom britischen Autocar-Magazin wurde ein 4180 Pfund teures 250-JU-Wohnmobil getestet, wo es eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 58 mph (93 km/h) erreichte. Der Tester fand es eine große Verbesserung gegenüber dem J2, den es ersetzte. Jedoch sei es schwierig zu fahren und der Lärmpegel vor allem über 40 mph (64 km/h) sei sehr groß. Nach der Bildung der British Leyland Motor Corporation im Jahr 1968 wurde er in BMC 250 JU umbenannt. Im Jahr 1970 wurde er wieder zum „Austin Morris 250 JU“. Weder die Weiterentwicklung noch die Vermarktung des JU waren im BLMC-Konzern aufgrund der vielen Konzernprobleme als vorrangig eingestuft worden. Trotzdem verkaufte er sich auf dem heimischen Markt gegen Wettbewerber-Fahrzeuge wie in erster Linie den Ford Transit und den mittlerweile alternden Bedford CF gut. Später fiel er aber immer weiter zurück und wurde mit dem kleineren Morris J4 1974 vom Leyland Sherpa abgelöst. (de)
  • The Morris 250 JU (also available, initially, badged as the Austin 250 JU) was a forward control (driver's cab on top of the engine) light van launched by Morris Commercial in October 1967. It was offered with the familiar B series petrol engine in 1,622 cc (99.0 cu in) form. Claimed power output was 49 bhp, with a compression ratio of 7.2:1. The 250 JU replaced the Morris Commercial J2 and with the merging of the Standard, it also replaced the Standard Atlas. The van was rated on a gross-weight basis rather than on the more familiar (for UK buyers at the time) load carrying capability. The number '250' in its name was intended to indicate a gross loaded weight of 2½ long (British) tons, implying a substantial carrying capacity of 22 cwt. When road tested by Britain's Autocar magazine, a 250 JU vehicle converted into a 4,180 lb (1.90 t) motor home achieved a maximum speed of 58 mph (93 km/h). The testers thought the van a big improvement over the J2 which it replaced, but found it remained "clumsy to drive" with the "need for constant expertise to overcome its faults": engine noise, especially above 40 mph (64 km/h) was a particular source of criticism. Following the formation of the British Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968, into which BMC, by then a subsidiary of British Motor Holdings, had been absorbed, the van was branded as the BMC 250 JU. It was then rebadged again in 1970 as the 'Austin Morris 250 JU', finally ending production in the wake of the Leyland Sherpa, with which it shared some components, in 1974. In addition to the standard panel vans, 250 JU chassis were also made available to specialist manufacturers for conversion into motor homes Neither the development nor the marketing of the van appears to have been prioritized by its manufacturers. It was comfortably outsold even on its home market by competitor vehicles such as, primarily, the front engined Ford Transit and the by now ageing Bedford CA. It also fell short of the more modest market place performance of British Leyland's own slightly more compact Morris J4. (en)
