[Healeys] interesting list of flawed classics

[rkeysor]

 I think a lot of the problems with vintage British cars was the absolutely horrid labor relations that existed in the UK. There were an abundance of design faults, to be sure, but the guys assembling cars are important.  What was it they used to say about Detroit-built cars, the quality depending on the day it was put together?  The Brits are building plenty of perfectly good automobiles today, thank Heaven.

Interesting that the list is also flawed as no. 1 and no. 6 show the same car – the Lancia Beta.

  

Oh well! The list is like our cars – it’s British.

I take exception to a few of the choices. But its interesting to  read about the flaws of each. https://tinyurl.com/ycdfcdjd
