It’s not a competition on who sold the rusty old sheds as Austin Rover would win it apart from Fiat in the UK. Total rust boxes I worked at Austin Rover and at the test track at Gaydon I know what extent the engineers did to try rid the brand of the reputation. The new Rover 200 series and 400 series were a thousand times better.
An Escort from the 1970s is worth a lot more than a Allegro etc.
