10 Worst British Cars of the 1960s #1 Chose Not to Try

10 Worst British Cars of the 1960s #1 Chose Not to Try The nineteen sixties gave Britain the Mini, the E-Type, and James Bond. The same factories, the same decade, the same people also produced these ten British cars that embarrassed the greatest automotive era this country ever had. These are the 10 worst British cars of the 1960s. Not the unlucky ones. Not the ones that ran out of money. These are the cars where Britain had every advantage talent, technology, time and still got it wrong. The Morris Marina was conceived entirely in the sixties, built on twenty-three-year-old suspension technology, and its own engineers knew it was compromised before it reached the showroom. The BMC 1800 won European Car of the Year and was nicknamed the Landcrab within weeks. The Vauxhall Viva arrived in 1963 with answers to questions the Mini had already made irrelevant four years earlier. Greatness and failure in the 1960s were separated by decisions, not talent. That is what makes this list so painful. The Standard Ensign was the final car a great British marque ever built and it was merely adequate. The Triumph Herald had a known handling flaw that Standard-Triumph documented before launch and shipped anyway. The Morris Oxford remained in production for a decade after BMC had already produced something better. And the Morris Marina number one was built with suspension from 1948 because the people who made it chose not to spend the money to do it properly.
