britcar reliablity

I just received the following bit of mail 
from someone on my pitcrew, referring to his
'69 cortina GT (which I bought as a parts car
but couldn't stand to disable a car that ran 
so well, so I sold to him...)

        I would prefer to arrive at the
track after work Friday, if Liz and I
can have a bed set aside for us. I intend
to take the trip in Fin (I derive a perverse
pleasure from the fact that my only British
vehicle is the most reliable vehicle I have
ever had in my posession).
