I think I saw an Austin Healey.
I think I saw a Vauxall.... Must be halucinating just like back in high school.

This thread is probably the only place where those cars had much of a chance of being identified.

Yes, I actually bought one of those (new), back in my drinking days, for my (to become ex) wife. Yep, it rattled like an IH scout and had all the dependability of an MG. When the rear end started grinding ...... I took it apart and (eeee - gad), buttoned it up and filled it up with axle grease. Sold it private owner ....... turned the first buyer away because he wanted it for his daughter ....... the second buyer was a FKIA young SA ...... so, he got himself a car ......... OK, old timers (or anyone) what kind of car was that ...... ?? humfrz |

I want an MGB GT. I figure it this way, if it's still running now chances are it will keep on keepin' on because it probably passed the time limit for Lucas problems.
When I was a kid there were a few cars I really wanted - Volvo 1800ES, MGB GT and BMW3.0CS. I still want them... If ya dropped an Opel GT or Saab Scania on me I'd be happy with them too and I probably wouldn't have a problem with a Benz 280SL either. |

Quite humorous to read about the Morris Marina aka Austin Marina...Made by British Leyland. A vehicle I've never before heard about:

I came close to buying one of these back in university, in about this condition...
Does that count? I did own an X1/9 for a while, too.
