A cult classic American song for a quintessentially British Sports Car? Yes, for this music/motor mix works surprisingly well as both have a warmingly nostalgic feel. The guttural rumble of the TVR Griffith’s V8, whether in smaller 4.0 litre format like the 1992 Paris Blue example or a larger, full fat 5.0 like the 1994 Monza Red car, harks back to the end of a motoring era, pushing the boundaries of beauty and the polici...

    In all honesty, it's easy to point the finger at Thatcher, and she does have a lot to answer for with her methods, but the truth is, she was trying to save the taxpayer money after years of shoddy quality products from companies like British Leyland and so many others that had too much bureaucracy interfering with their systems. It was the same with British Railways too.

People always criticize Lucas Electrics. Lucas are a good quality company who supply some space programs... Leyland and Brit Motorcycle management wanted all the looms cheaper so quality was cut.... Volvo cars had decent electrical systems, also supplied by Lucas...

  • @stephenhowell5611
    @stephenhowell5611 3 месяца назад

    Bad management and constant strikes, not just BL, but Ford and Vauxhall too, which is why they eventually moved all production to Germany. BL lost a lot of their foreign market and there was no way they could survive with just a home market. Also making modern cars, like the princess which was not a bad car tbh, but they were still being fitted with 4 speed gearboxes. One thing to remember are the amount of makers now who have copied the Mini's transverse engine location.

      The UK calling! My German father always drove a Beetle in the '50s, '60s and '70s (two different cars) and he simply got into it, started it, and drove it to work. Or Germany for family holidays. Meanwhile, in damp or frosty winter months, we were surrounded by UK-built cars, bonnets up, cranking over and over, owners cursing and spraying all sorts of magic starter fluids into their Fords/Austins/Hillmans/Vauxhalls etc. Mostly Fords though. There was just one winter morning his Beetle didn't start instantly. The battery had died. I followed suit driving air cooled VWs until 2017. I won't pretend they never broke down though - one time coming home from Germany in 1968 (repaired with a screwdriver), and another time in 2007 closer to home.

    As a teen in the UK I always craved a TVR finally owned a S2 in Toronto back in the mid 90 ‘s , First time I took it for a serious drive in the country managed to achieve a 360 spin which was a major lesson in driving . Was constantly being yelled at while driving around Toronto “ what are you driving “ loved the car easy to maintain biggest issue was having to be so careful when parking as the front end was always subject to possible “ taps” on the concrete parking spacers . Never drove it October to March so I doubt if I put on 5,000 k in the 5 year ownership which was kinda silly but fulfilled a childhood dream .

      Poor attitude, leads to poor work ethic, which leads to poor output, which leads to poor cars. Advances in technology and the provision of investment, does - NOTHING - to improve the situation in the manufacturing industry. The *ATTITUDE* of absolutely every single member of staff, is what counts for EVERYTHING when it really comes down to it. Were I in charge of British Leyland, the first thing I would have worked on, is de-corrupting the staff in absolutely every way possible - whether it be from being loaded up with bad news from the tabloids first thing in the morning and carrying the ethereal effects of that into the factory, or talking about idle matters such as football matches and "getting wasted" before and/or after the match. The same would go with toxic interrelationships - even those the staff aren't consciously aware of. The "strikes" that take place in this country are oftentimes miss the mark by a considerable margin as to the true origins of the discontent, so that the underlying causes are never appropriately addressed, but instead a sticking plaster over another sticking plaster is used to temporarily move matters sideways. It's so mind-numbing, that I have difficulty being able to appreciate quite how dysfunctional it really was.

    I remember back in 1967, I was into club rallying with a SAAB 96. My friend whose parents owned the local garage had just bought and prepared a Mini Cooper S. On his first rally, the three spot welds on the bracket that secured the front suspension stabiliser arm let go leading to the collapse of the n/s front suspension and c/v drive shaft. A nut and bolt through the jigging hole would have resolved the problem, but a 2p bolt was just too much for British Leyland. Without quality control, all you do is is produce junk. So hardly shedding tears that the British motor industry went the way of the dodo. Not that SAAB was exactly defect free, but at least they went broke. OK, so rally driving a standard production car was hardly conductive to reliability, but I never bought another new car. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

    I had an S3C for 4-5 years. Fabulous fun, reliable and I enjoyed tinkering with it. I still have Steve Heath’s book which is brilliant. Always sounded fabulous but its problem was that it was not directionally stable. To keep it straight required constant small corrections and I felt it could bite in the wet. The E34 525i I got afterwards was probably a faster car point to point as it was so stable and accessible with good grip levels and predictable handling.
