Morris minors are very fine cars... Issigonis was a inspired designer and engineer ..beautiful rack and pinion steering...stone age mechanicals ...once drove one back from France with a blown head gasket ...filling it up with water every 10 or 15 miles as it boiled over.Took the head off to find it had warped by 15 thou...had it skimmed (without even taking the valves out) and it went better than ever .However woe betide you if you neglected to grease the front trunions.
In my experience you could stand and watch a Triumph Herald going rusty before your very eyes whilst you drank a cup of tea.
Two litre Vitesses were known by my friends in the motor trade as flying coffins.
