Just got round to watching, memories of my T reg one there… shame you can’t go faster or on the road really, I’d have booted your mate out for some drive by shots 😂
Thanks Rick, yes it would have been nice to have been able to go faster and test the car better, there was a guy they had taking drive by pics but not any vids sadly.
It’s one thing taking a drive in a low mileage, or restored car, but you had to own one and live with the terrible build quality, the rust, the mechanical issues, the horse and cart technology and worst of all, realising you’d been suckered into buying a lemon. British Leyland didn’t go out of business because they made great cars. They went under because people stopped buying the junk they were producing. There are two schools of thought at play here. There’s people who succumb to the nostalgia produced by TH-camrs to build their channels and people who actually owned these hateful cars. It’s easy to forget the reality with your rosy specs on.

One wonders why you watched this.
😂😂😂 lol why would you bother !!! Worst car in history!!!!
I have driven much worse modern cars I can tell you. I am all for change and modernisation, but some modern cars are a massive step back.
@@dylandylan7960 They were very good cars. I had the Ital model and Marina models. If they were rust proofed I would still driving one.
