British cars were ok, but some of the faults were a bit comical. It was an Austin where I found the HT lead had pulled out of the coil, caused by the coil nearly falling off, caused by only having one bolt holding it on. The captive nut for the missing bolt had never been there!
And I did like the Maestro that was short of power, running on 3 cylinders. Through a hole in the engine you could see a bare crankshaft journal passing by. It would still start and drive.

But the rot was fairly bad. Around 1970 I was fitting new wings on 3 year old minis.
