I remember some motoring journalist making the comment that Morris were taking outdated technology from the fifties, and then trying to kid us it was 'advanced' in 1971 when the woeful Marina first hit British roads.

At least the new Austin All-aggro tried to be different. :)

I had the Austin 1100, which actually wasn't that bad. The engine used to rock back and forth slightly and the gearbox was a bit 'sloppy', but the hydralastic/hydragas suspension (I forget which) was pretty good.

I always thought the Austin/Morris 1300GT looked smart with it's groovy colours, BVR, and dustbin lid wheel trims.

Although obviously I don't remember them in period. :)
