Thats certainly rubbish. I had a morris Minor as my first car ( second
hand) . It was fine.

I had two Morris Minors (the first one being a convertible!)

Both of them were definitely tail happy in the wet...and even in the
dry if pushed. Cart spring rear suspension and the 'interesting'
torsion bars at the front.


Was that more a case of the car or the driver?

Oh, the driver played a part. But I didn't get that problem driving other
cars...ergo the car had a problem.

Even my wallowing Humber Hawk wasn't as bad. And the Land Rover was much
better...
