Marina 1.8. Bought one to Banger Rally. Realised I'd kill myself before getting as far South as Durham let alone Bucharest. And it was in bloody good nick. Horrendous.

Any Mercedes with a manual gearbox

Volvos 200, 300 & 700 series.

Pre-Primera Nissans

Triumph Spitfire.

Any TVR, dreadful.

BMWs

Volvo 400-series range. I though they all were great and miles better than a 300-series Vauxhall Corsa auto. The addition of PAS and a proper gearbox made a huge difference. MGB and Maestros both get the thumbs up from me. Rover 825. Thats the VM engined 800, not the Honda or Rover V6. These things ...

1976 TR7 Auto.

I'm one of those people who think that all classic cars drive shit, but this one, unfettled and original, drove astonishingly well.

Way back in the day, 2 of my dad's work colleague struck it rich on the Pools. They promptly went out a bought a 405 Mi16x4 thingy. They loved them and they looked great. Did they have BX rear suspension? Anyway, could you imagine a lottery winner going out and buying a mid range Pug to celebrate no...

That 1.6L was a bit worse for wear at the end.

When Britain did have talent on a Saturday night.

That is lovely.

I HATED selling 306 without PAS mainly because they were a bastard to retail. And hard work to drive around town.

The V8s drank the fuel, regardless of load. The sixes didn't.
