After the company Morris and Austin were part of the British Motor Corporation, the model means Badge engineering was also marketed as the Austin J2.

In 1961, a revision where the engine was enlarged to 1622 cc and a diesel engine with 1500 cc was optionally available. The Austin model was now marketed as Austin 152. In 1967 the production was ended, and the successor to the Morris bzw.BMC 250 JU has been introduced.
