Thread: Leyland P38 - Half the car they should have been

I've had a few pommie products not all BMC but some, my first was a Austin A30
Austin Cambridge
Morris Major Elite
Morris Mini 850
Morris Mini panelvan
Vanguard Spacemaker
Triumph 2.5PI (i loved this car)
Zefer consul 6

All good cars and basicly no problems with any of them, and most suprising not a single problem with my Triumph 2.5 PI.

I drove DSs for many years - still have my DSpecial, not registered but still in good shape. Owned a Moke briefly between my first 2a and the ID19 in 1971.
I learned to drive in an Austin 16 (also in a Swift, a Reo and a Model T) before getting my licence in my aunt's A30 (dad didn't want his Austin 16 to be too closely scrutinised by the police, as the clutch was a bit iffy at the time).

I admired the 1800, one of my close friends owned one, my sister had an 1800 ute as a farm ute, but it failed to withstand the roads (twisted trailing arm at the rear and broken sway bar) and the low ground clearance was a problem. For several years one of my sons had a Marina, and my father had a 1500 for several years between his Simca Vedette and his DS.
