British cars were never really reliable anyways, at least the more modern ones.

The old ones weren't so hot in the quality or reliability department either.

Fifty years ago brand new cars at British Leyland dealers would frequently have drip trays underneath them to prevent the oil leaks from staining the showroom floor. The less said about their electrical systems (made by Lucas Industries, better known as "The Prince of Darkness") the better.

Every time I hear the term Prince of Darkness, I think of Ozzy Osborne, haha. I'm a huge Ozzy fan.

Endless money pit, they're made in China now, and British cars were never really reliable anyways, at least the more modern ones. When Ford bought Jaguar in the late 90s, their quality actually improved a little bit. It wasn't a profitable venture for them and they've been bought and sold by an Indian company and Chinese company since.
