« on: 05 August 2013, 15:32:44 »

......how many Brittish Leyland cars will you admit to owning?

I've owned three. :'(

A 1972 Triumph 1500 with FWD

A 1976 Triumph 2500S.....the one with the Stag wheels

A 1981 Austin Princess 1700......Given to me by my FIL.

All three cars were uniformly shite. :-[

I believe that British Leyland was formed around 1967/68.

Rare as rocking horse droppings, and, if you can find one, cost in the £20,000- £40,000 price range.

I had a Marina Coupe 1800 TC in a fetching mustard colour with thick black go-faster stripes!  8) I think it was circa 1980.  :-\

I also had a '96 Rover 218 diesel (Non turbo) which chugged about happily on veg oil, until I accidentally shorted the electrics while changing the glowplug relay.  :-[
