I had a two year old Marina in 1976, it was a nightmare and probably the worst car I have ever owned.

Lol I had a marina, yup rear leaf springs were crap.. but .. my mate suggested putting the van ones on which were stronger! Job done, I never did fix it jumping out of third gear though, but that's why god invented the left knee for innit

Jeremy Clarkson hated the Vauxhall Vectra? Yeah, because it couldn't do 150.

The Reliant Robin as in Top Gear had it's suspension altered for comic effect. Back in 1978 I was in a back of a Super Van being driven over a hump-back bridge so fast that it left road, at no time did I feel as if I was going to die. The Allegro was not a rot box. The Marina's ill handling was only on the early 1.8 versions, which later adjusted. Later cars' handling was surefooted for an exciting car. The TR7 was the best selling Triumph sports car. Why is the Sinclair C5 included, it's not a car. The Vectra and Rover City thing were not really British design. The Imp was better then the Mini, and quality was much better overtime. The Princess and SD1 were quite stylish cars due to the unions killing off the British motor manufacturing for ever. Sad to see three Harris Mann designs in this miss-leading upload!

Now remember TA TA makes jaguar Land Rover

Having owned and raced classics all my life, there are a few odd choices here (IMO).

I had a vectra. It was brilliant. I got it for free. It could carry my mountain bike, my toolbox, my dog. I didn't give a damn about it. I washed the exterior twice in the four years I had it. The interior was kept clean but not the outside. Considering I had been riding motorbikes for twenty years then decided to take my car test, a heater, windscreen and cup holder was wonderful. The only modification I did was get rid of the radio (Radio not radio/ cassette it was that basic) and fit a cd player.

Another TH-cam video from people who perhaps don't know what they're talking about when it comes to cars only info from hearsay and from other people who don't really know what they are talking about and probably never owned any of the cars mentioned

1 Morris Marina, no better or worse than the Hillman Hunter, 2 Austin Allegro, my grandad had the top model series 3 1750HLS if you exclude the leather and wood Vanden Plas, 3 Reliant Robin well this being the iconic three wheeler, but the car it replaced was the Reliant Regal. 4 Triumph TR7 good looking sports car but unreliable. 5 Rover City Rover the most modern but just plain dull, even the 1980s Metro had charisma. 6 Sinclair C5 well you can dismiss this at once, it is not a car whatsoever. 7 Vauxhall Vectra was not much than a facelifted Cavalier, also an Opel but not exactly a British car built in Germany. 8 I have a soft spot for the Hillman Imp, and its Singer Chamois and Sunbeam Stiletto coupe sisters but unreliable rear engine 9 Austin Princess, early models were Austin/ Morris 18/22 series and Wolseley Six nice wedge shape but another unreliable car. 10 Rover SD1 the Princess's big brother, muscular and macho especially the powerful 3500, and like all BL cars unreliable.

Keep making content like this.... & you'll be at 1m subs this time next year. Class!! 😊

My Uncle took me to work in his Reliant Robin once, a sweeping bend on a dual carriageway resulted in taken too fast resulted in a sphincter pulsing wild ride on two wheels with me screaming and his knuckles turning white as they gripped the steering wheel attempting to tame the wild beast. How we stayed upright and didn’t perish in a charred soup of molten fibreglass is beyond me. I got up a bit earlier and caught the bus the next day!

I am a fan of the much hated Allegro, the I had was a one owner from new, the old lady who owned it originally told me her husband offered the choice of an E-Type or the Allegro. All though it would have been quite cool to have owned the Jaguar, judging by her driving in the Allegro, I think she would have killed herself in the classic sports car. The Austin was infact a very reliable car. Only broke down twice, once with damp in the ignition, the other when the garage who "repaired" the car, hadn't, hence the front suspension collapsed. The Marina was a dull car which my father had. I think somebody must love these cars, but do go down the route of some American based TH-cam channel that talks rubbish about cars they know nothing about.

What a great list of dreary uninspiring awful terrible rubbish crappy cars but the best thing is the motor companies that made them are no longer around gone and forgotten mostly no body cries about there demise and most British cars are gone why they were terrible and we can thank that they are no longer around except for British Fords they are terrible today and Britain can't build a descent reliable car and they never will

I had an Australian assembled marina with the E series 2.6 litre six that was the entry level motor for the leyland P76. And...not east west either. There were even a few homegrown examples of the 4.4 litre v8 jammed under the hood. In a straight line it went like hell... 130 bhp in a wee car like that. But in the wet? Leave it in the garage. Even so, it was a joy to drive and when it went troppo at least you could repair it. The mark 3 ford cortina with the 4.1 litre straight 6 handled worse, believe it or not.

God bless the TH-cam Algorithm and it's benevolent wisdom. This was a good watch man. Subbed ❤

I wouldn't personally consider the Vectra as a british car since it's an opel

People poke fun at old Rangies for looking "too agricultural", but you could drive a tractor through the panel gaps on some of those Leyland cars, and it sounds like pretty much every subsystem on the Allegro suffered from a case of "moving when it shouldn't" or "not moving when it should" sooner or later... it has to be the winner. At least some of the others were quirky, and could perhaps even be considered charming in a retro "we see what you were going for" kind of way. I've also just now added "Should have come with an Apology as standard equipment" to my repertoire of automotive insults, ta for that. Fantastic video mate. Smart and well written script with some nice little zingers thrown in, well recorded and confidently delivered voiceover with no stumbles or odd mispronunciations, excellent example footage, calm and competent editing with nothing added that doesn't need to be there... definitely a lot to like here, subscribed, more like this please sir! And a merry xmas/happy holidays to you and yours, cheers from Sydney ;)

Hey man! I'm interested in a collaboration.

Shame about the SD1. Great looking, spacious and comfortable, with the v8 an excellent tourer. But the electrical system was so unreliable you simply never knew whether lights or wipers or whatever would work when you needed them. Sad, because overall I liked the car, but couldn't put up with it.

Here before this channel blows up next year :))

Hey man! How do i reach out.

Good work mate! Subbed

Which of these cars do you think takes the crown for being the absolute worst? Or is there an even crappier one we missed? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

I gave you a 'like' to boost you in the algorithm.. But, there were far faster production cars than the ones you mention. The Dolomite Sprint being a particular example.. Good luck with your channel, I'll subscribe and hope to see some more classics. All the best.

Which of these fastest British cars from the '70s is your favorite? 🏁 Did we miss any iconic speedsters? Let us know in the comments! Let's see which classic gets the most love!

Taking a trip down memory lane to my own childhood around Christmas time, my favourite being all the extra snacks and chocolate we were allowed to eat 🙂

Great Xmas video!! ❤❤❤ this

I still have the original 70s Thighmaster somewhere in the garage, think it’s still in the original box too. Wonder how much it’s worth now…?

❤lovely time to look back on

The Lotus Esprit is my all time favourite ❤

Great video, the world will never forget Muhammad Ali 🥊

All before technology. Fantastic times

Such a great time to grow up 🙂

when football was about football not celebraties and money and when the goalie could have a quick fag break lol

Ahhh the 'good old days' lol I remember having to stand outside the headmistresses office awaiting the threat of 'the cane' for swearing at an adult (not even a teacher!!) and those wooden-backed blackboard erasers were used often by a frustrated teacher for throwing at an unruly kid.....defo used to spend my dinner money on mars bars and fags down the local shop lol

My education in the late 60's and early 70's were a disaster. Huge classes educated by overworked teachers who did not have the time to provide personal tuition. I joined the army at 15 and when I left, attended college and passed my exams. My school dinners were very good. It was the main meal of the day and my mother gave us a simple like beans on toast. The corporal punishment dished out by some teachers was at times cruel and vindictive. I remember at age 8, being stood by my teacher reading aloud from a book. If I got a word wrong, she would slap my legs. My school years were not the happiest days of my life for sure.

The first smell on entering the class would be cigarette smoke followed by farts, and if you find yourself nodding off a book around the back of the head would add light to view.
