That's correct!
These cars have character / personality: something which new cars completely lack!
By the way.......
Great video! Beautiful old Morris Oxford! Hope she'll survive for many more years to come!

I remember the Morris Oxford Traveller (1966) that my father brought in 1973, it got scrapped two years later, it was crammed full of brown paper and filler, and replaced it with an Austin 3 Litre (which spent more time in the garage, costing my dad approx £2,000in repairs in the two years that he owned the car, traded it in for a Marina (which also spent time in the garage). Which car did I like the best? The Oxford, it was very reliable, saw one in town just last week, looking good!

Love these cars. One of the first cars I ever drove when I passed my test in '77

Way back in the 1960s I worked for BMC in Durban South Africa, and I worked on all these badge engineered cars Austin, Morris, Wolseley, Riley, MG, Austin-Healey, Minis and the three variants of the Cooper S. The 1275 Cooper S was capable of reaching 100 MPH in those days. Sadly names now relegated to the hispory books.

British version of the Peugeot 404.
Very nice looking classic car.

No, not really! They were a nicely made, very reliable family car that was very well thought of, and freely bought by the million--though they do need a lot of maintainence,especially the suspension and steering grease-ups and as they were dying out in the 1980s, there were a lot of rusty, poorly maintained ones about. Most survivors are in good order, now.

Have to agree - this one is also very reliable and should you suffer the odd breakdown, normally very easily fixable by a DIY mechanic.

That's a nice car - I want an Oxford Traveller/Cambridge Countryman as my first car or, better still, a modified 'Wolseley/Riley/MG' Farina estate. Is it fair to say that these were to their era what the BMW 3-series is now - everyman's nice-handling luxobarge?

Richard, I'm guessing you just joined the Farina Forum?
Probably safer to say the Rover P6 2000TC was an old fashioned BMW316. The Farinas were getting a liitle dated even by 1960's standards but I still rate em!
cirrus216 2 years ago
Yep, that's me =)
What's the handling on these things like?
EccentricRichard 2 years ago
Handling? Well kind of sloppy by todays standards! But provided all the rubber suspension bushes are ok, shocks ok and rear leaf springs good plus radial tyres as opposed to crossply ones, then they're ok.
