Totally agree.
It's a bizarre situation.
There's examples which are often mistaken for "Jags" in the view that "Jags" are great and lovely and a highly desirable car to have but "Rovers" are a pile of tat and the faster they find their way to the scrap yard the better.
Yet we know that trying to find a modern replacement is a really difficult thing to do. My Passat is a thoroughly efficient, effective and competent car - but it just isn't anything like getting into my 75. It's currently on eBay while the 75 has just had a new ITP.
I wonder what might have been if they had been if they'd been put together with the care and attention to detail that we lavish on our steeds and had the reliability of a Toyota.
In some, rather sad, ways it helps us as there's a steady supply of cars that can be saved at very little money and/or a supply of bits to help us out or upgrade to a higher spec.
Enjoy them while we can.
