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.
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?"
Most of your criticisms should have been apparent on the test drive.
It's a Morris Ital! clowns liked them because they fell to bits on their own whilst driving along!
You should try servicing your cars. One thing the Ital was good at was reliability. Unless something is seriously wrong, the A series engine is a first time starter. My Ital 1.3 was never troubled by wet weather and used to get 40 mpg. It sounds like yours was knackered when you bought it.
