FWIW.....(Excluding company cars)

Hillman Hunter 1967
Lovely old car, long-legged Holbay 1725, reliable to boot.

Hillman Avenger 1975
Disgusting black pvc interior, needed a HG every few thousand. Would not go a smidge over 80, but would do it all day with no complaint.

Vauxhall Viva HC 1970
Swapped a half-smoked pack of B & H for this. Still think I was ripped off.

Morris Marina's 1972, 76, 78
Woeful handling (until upgraded). Otherwise reliable, characterful cars, with all those low-buck hop ups for the A series applying here. Some of these, esp. the 1.8 TC's are now making some serious money.

Leyland Sherpa Van 185, 1976
1622 B series. Ex- Rediffusion (remember them?) Bought to move house, as was cheaper than hiring a van for a week. Enjoyed it so much, kept for over a year. With people borrowing it, etc, paid for itself 16 times over. Front drum brakes were er, interesting when a load was carried, however.

Austin Ambassador 1981
1.7L. In a long distance relationship, so needed something to swallow the miles. Still the best ride quality of any car I have driven.

PS - Do I qualify for a Rover Badge now!

 

[JLD]

Not sure where my fords were built - Escort and a couple of Cortinas.

For the amount of British parts used in them would either of my Volvos count?

 

[cerbman]

Must have been Brit owned at sometime

robin, today is a sad day in essex,the last fiesta rolled off the production line today ending 72 years of car prodution at dagenham.

 

[JLD]

According to BBC reports the workers aren't too sure of the future of the engine plant either.

 

[Ex-Member]

I think their just a little peed off being forced out.
they had been working single shift for quite some time on basic money so many of them had no choice but to take redundacy of up to 50k.
a new container port is going to be built down the road so many should have no trouble getting jobs.

 

[Dave Harrison]

One of the sight that bought a lump to my throat during the rally to save Longbridge at Cannon Hill Park, Brum, was the coachload of Dagenham workers that turned up unannounced to offer their support. A week later, they heard that they were out of a job, too.
Good luck and God Bless lads. The best Fords were always the British ones, and you built us some legends.
