theleveller BS: British Cars! (154* d) RE: BS: British Cars! 12 Jan 13


My first car was a 1934 Lagonda Rapier Abbot-bodied tourer followed by a 1947 MGTC - great cars but hardly everyday motoring, although I wish I had them now.

Worst cars were a Volvo 480 with a complicated computerised system that simply didn't work and which kept breaking clutch cables, and a TR7 drophead with automatic transmission, which was so slow I was once overtaken by a milk float.

I loved my Saab 90 Turbo (the old shape) but went through 3 turbos and a gearbox in 2 years, and never got more than 15K miles from a set of front tyres (maybe it's the way I drive). My Mercedes E Class estate went on for years despite being used to carry large quantities of horse manure from field to garden.
