Could this be the best example of Britain's worst car? 🤔
We are living in strange times. It’s not long since a car like this week’s Brave Pill could have easily been purchased for a tenth of its £5,995 asking price. Sometimes just a hundredth. I saw it happen. As a poor student in the nineties I used to regularly attend a car auction in north Manchester where local traders used to offload no-hopers.
Of course, it’s a terrible car. Normally I try not to be too rude about any of our Pills, on the basis most get savaged in the comments. But I can’t keep on the fence on this one, having experienced various examples and their quease-making suspension as a child. Yet the very survival of this one, which genuinely seems to be as good as they ever got, has given it the appeal of something vanishingly rare.
The problem was that the company was close to broke, so the whole thing was done on a £29m budget that was tight even by early eighties standards. In addition to its full-height tailgate the new car got a redesigned body with extra side windows at the back, meaning that only the front door skins were actually carried over from the Princess.
