Gotta disagree here. No doubt Nader had influence, but that's not what killed the Brit car industry. Poor management killed the British car industry. There were several articles in British Car Magaz

main Yeah....that and the fact that every one of them caught fire and burned up on the side of the road. In the 60s and 70s, the appropriate response to anyone who mentioned that they owned a Corvai

Have to disagree a bit... Nader didn't kill the Corvair, it was a victim of it's own success. By accident, GM discovered a market for a sporty coupe with buckets and a floor shift the Monza). Their p

Yeah... and every British car is an unsafe, unreliable piece of crap which rusts itself to the ground. Be careful of repeating false stereotypes. I'm not saying it never happens, but I've dealt with

The only corvair I ever owned if ;memory serves, was a 65 I wanted to convert to mid engine V-8. Some fellow was selling a kit to turn the transaxle around, put the V-8 in the back seat, and a firewa

I guess that this makes me the "Anti-Nader" Just to elaborate on Tom's statement... The 65-69 Corvair was better on the skidpad than the same vintages Corvette, and no American car beat it untill the

I think you have downplayed the destructive role that labour unions played in the decline of the British auto industry. Especially through the 70s, they were a major impediment to the productivity,

Sorry my Vega was a great car!! I learned to drive in it and learned a lot of the autocross techniques that served me well in later years, and probably saved my skin a time or two. The only time I lo
