From the British Autocar magazine, a 4,180 pound expensive 250 - JU- RV was tested, where (93 km / h) reached a maximum speed of 58 mph. The tester found it a big improvement over the J2, which it replaced. However, it was difficult to drive and the noise level, especially over 40 mph (64 km / h) was very large.

After the formation of British Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968, it was renamed in BMC 250 JU. In 1970 he again became " Austin Morris 250 JU ". Neither the development nor the marketing of JU had been identified as a priority in BLMC Group due to the many corporate problems.

Later, however, he fell further and further behind and was replaced with the smaller Morris J4 1974 Leyland Sherpa.
