Yes, Robbo was a pain;...but he was not management. Harriman, Stokes, Edwardes were the real pantomime villans, and quality control was a joke. Even when they broke away from Lucas junk, they bought Ducellier bargain basement stuff that wasn't any better! As for "the World's best", no doubt punitive import duties on them funny furrin cars helped that myth. Now let me guess;...you're a Conservative Brexiteer from one of the home counties!

I loved the music. I'm not sure what all the lyrics were but the vibe was great.

@InfiniteMushroom Engine looks very much like my old Ford Prefect, a car that was not very well engineered when it came to engine mounting.

@Peter Alan Clark Forgotten why I wrote that, The British motoring companies were victims of that stupid Point 4, D squared N, registration fee system, long strokes dictated by this was a stupid idea, restricting development, don't know when it was changed, maybe when the reverse backed Anglia came out about 1960 with that oversquare engine, Jaguar went completely ratty in 1955 with the introduction of the compact Mk 1 range with a 2.4 Litre engine, how crazy was it to turn a 3.4 engine into a boat anchor with the same diameter bore size, had no positive effect on the registration fee. With this muddled mindset no wonder we don't have a viable British car industry today.

Morris had to put the Austin A series engine into the later Minor before they could sell it. Swings and roundabouts.

How very true, a green and pleasant Land

But the other 99% of British territory wasn't pleased about the presence of Brits on THEIR territory without ever been asked. And the tens of millions of people having been killed by Brits even were less pleased.

@@jurivlk5433 Whats that got to do with great British cars driving in England ? Yes we know the English killed millions of people ! but thats another story.

@@unclestuka8543 I just reacted to blueggturbo who praises Britain all over.
