Actually, the problem I had with them was that they were all so dull and 
out-of-date. To a schoolboy in the 70s, a range of (BMC) cars that had been 
announced mostly between 1959 and 1962, and used PUSHROD 4 cylinder engines, 
wasn't all that exciting.

The fact that they were appallingly built just sealed the deal.

P.S. The Lotuses we work on were first built in 1958, and one was the 
fastest car from 1-100-0 mph in Autocar mag's test this year - so *some* 
'outdated' cars can't be improved upon. But BMC's could...
