PSA: This is what Britain's least reliable car would look like
Our friendly allies from Britain are known to have designed some truly beautiful automobiles over the years. Sadly, for all their inventive engineering and design talents, one thing that British cars have never been known for is reliability. Or rather, perhaps we should say that British car were never known for their reliability – the once mighty auto industry of the UK is something of a lion in winter these days.
Of course, that doesn't mean cars aren't still bought and sold in the UK – heck, a bunch are even still built there, but they aren't generally assembled by companies with English ownership. Of course, reliability can be a rather hit-or-miss issue no matter where a car is built. To highlight this fact, the blokes from Warranty Direct have put together a so-called Monster MK1, an imaginary car made up of the worst parts of what their data says are the least reliable cars on British roads.
Starting with the drivetrain, the Nightmare Car boasts the engine from an MG TF mated up to the transmission from a Land Rover Freelander. Suspension bits come from the BMW M3, which means it ought to handle pretty well... until it doesn't any more – apparently, nearly 40 percent of M3s in Britain need suspension repairs each year.
Moving on, the Volvo C70 donates its steering gear and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class van gives up its shoddy ignition. Wiring and electronics come from the Renault Megane, 40 percent of which will five up the ghost, while the air conditioning and various heating and cooling bits come from a pair of SEAT models. Bringing it all to a halt, assuming it actually got moving in the first place, are the brakes from an Audi A8.
See the horrid conglomeration of haphazard workmanship in its full high-res glory by clicking on the image above. Alternatively, you can read all about this absurd piece of garbage in the press release after the break.
