The roadholding on the 1800s was legendary compared to other contemporary standard vehicles.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

The 1800 was a bloody good car considering its heritage. 'kin big inside too, if they'd been able to make it really reliable it would have
blown away the opposition. Problem was, at BL, reliabilty wasn't on the option list let alone a standard feature.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

The 1800 competed in the World Cup rally successfully, it is such a shame BL was so badly run, thier ground breaking designs should have made them
world leaders and still going strong today. But thanks to the goverment, Michael Edwards and the unions the designs were never produced properly and
build qualty was rubbish.
