Morris Marina

Well you've heard it all before but how could we resist writing about what is quite possibly the worst car of all time, ladies and gentlemen i introduce the Morris Marina.

The Marina was manufactured by the Morris division of British Leyland throughout the 1970's, a period that provided great struggle for the British car industry.

The Marina has been has been criticized with having a poor build quality, handling like a 'skip on wheels' and possessing an outdated design even for its time.

Even with all the criticism the Morris Marina was a very popular car in Britain and was one of the country's best selling cars throughout its production life. Production of the Marina lasted almost 10 years though now fewer than 1 in every 1000 made are still on British roads today which makes it the most scrapped car to be sold in Britain over the past 30 years.

High Points:
  • Doesn't look as bad as the Austin Allegro
Low Points:
  • The worst steering on a car ever
  • Poor build quality
  • Outdated design
The Morris Marina also has a tendency of piano's falling onto it, the reason for this however remains unknown.
