When I worked at the Rover garage we had 2 MG Maestros(1 black 1 red) that stood in the showroom for a year and they been in the compound for at least 6 months. By the time they sold them the black one was 18 months old and the red one nearly 2 years old

No one wanted pathetic 4 cylinder front wheel drive BMC heaps.Who would have thought it.
( BMW laugh all the way to the bank as 3 series sales increase ).

Were not some of the front wheel drive heaps best sellers at the start of the 70s?

Yes and it was the BMC 1100/1300 over and over again in the mid/late 1960s. 1963 - 1966 and 1968- 1971 with more than half of the 2 million produced being sold in the UK. So, given that some customers were repeat buyers that makes several hundred thousand people CF will no doubt insult.
