The company was based in Burago di Molgora, where all products were made from 1974 to 2005. At its most popular, Bburagos main competition were Politoys and Maisto, the latter of which was to become dominant in the 1:18 market segment around 2000.In 2006, Hong Kong-based May Cheong Group (owner of the Maisto and Polistil brands) acquired rights to the Bburago brand, taking over the production and commercialization of its die-cast model vehicles, which are made in China
A variety of Mini types were made in Pamplona, Spain, by the Authi company from 1968 onwards, mostly under the Morris name. In 1969, a fibreglass version of the Mini Mark II was developed for British Leylands Chilean subsidiary (British Leyland Automotores de Chile, S.A., originally the independent assembler EMSSA). The bodyshell mould was created by the Peel Engineering Company. Production began in 1970 and continued for a few years; these fibreglass Minis can be recognised by the missing body seams and by larger panel gaps. The Chilean market was never very large and the hyperinflation and political and social collapse led to the 1973 coup. The Arica plant was closed in 1974.[47] The reason for the fibreglass body was to enable Leyland to meet very strict requirements for local sourcing, increasing to 70.22% in 1971.[47]
