Austin 1100 is the first that springs to mind.

Caught fire in a jam in the morning rush hour in east London.

the worst and the funniest was an xjs, stuck at some lights and noticed the bonnet start to bubble up. Bl00dy thing set on fire and was a write off, I had only had it 2 days.

on reflection that car had character , never broke down on me or cost me any money bar the gas.

i had a mondeo v6 , that was the most costly piece of sh1t i ever had the misfortune to own.

bought an old escort estate from a dealer who had to jump start it and board up a broken window on it for £50. only lasted 7 hours but i was moving from glasgow to leicester at the time and it was cheaper than hiring a van.

An MG metro. Made my old Escourt feel like a Rolls Royce in comparison, and that was a heap of junk. Really crude to drive and unreliable, had enough of it and took out a loan to buy a BMW and been German ever since.

I was just going to mention the Allegro Estate (the hearse) and the Austin Princess.

So ugly they couldn't get past first base. But they were, I dare say, shoddily built

Worst car I've ever driven was a 2006 VW polo. Awful car - luckily only a hire car. Worst car I've owned was a fiat tipo. Coincidentally, it was also my favourite car.

my ex wife had a fiat 127 in her youth, the throttle cable snapped one morning and she asked me to**it

being useless i tied a piece of string on to the linkage and ran it thru the bulkhead so she could pull the string to accelerate

my own disaster was a tvr tuscan which i bought new, in 3 years it had 3 engine rebuilds, gearbox, clutch, suspension twice, electrical failures numerous times, cracked wheels twice, lock failures, immob failure, leaks, steering rack fault, list was fecking endless

i worked out that it cost me about 10k per yr for the time i owned it and it was under warranty for the first yr!
