You have me beat as I only know or Standard Triumph having manufacturing plants in Coventry and Liverpool. Which years are you talking? Check this out.

Spitfires (and Heralds) were built at Canley in No 15 shop if my memory serves me correctly and The 200 was built in 21 Shop also at Canley.

BSA built a sports car. I nearly bought one but was talked out of it by my Father.

Rootes had the Singer works on the Coventry Road.
 
I have just realised you may be referring to Mulliners which I think was acquired by Standard Triumph. This was a body design and manufacturing site not car production for Triumph as far as I know. By the time I joined Standard Triumph Mulliners had been closed and the design staff movef to Coventry.

Ref:
 Mulliners (Holdings) Ltd. was the holding company for Mulliners Ltd. Mulliners, taken over by Standard-Triumph in the late 1950s, were responsible for a number of estate car and commercial vehicle conversions of Standard products such as the Vanguard and the 8/10/Pennant line and also built TR2-3 bodies. Mulliners also controlled the Forward Radiator Company, who in addition to their namesake product also produced TR3B bodies.
