1982 Morris Ital 1.3 review from UK and Ireland
"Everything that was wrong with British car industry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The synchromesh on 2nd gear never worked.
It refused to start if there had been even a hint of rain or damp.
The flasher unit went three times.
The wipers started to go slow after about five minutes of use.
General comments?
This car handles like a dodgy shopping trolley on a bad day.
Pulling away from the traffic lights it might just beat a tractor in good light and road conditions.
Why on earth was the radio positioned facing away from the driver? How to have an accident in one easy lesson.
I think that there was more rust then paint on it when I finally gave up on it after 18 miserable and expensive months.
Even the car dealer whom I asked to take it in part ex, said "you are bloody joking aren't you, mate? What the hell would I do with this thing?"
