[Henry Morton]

I'd vote the Chrysler 180 as the worst ever car. This was Chrysler/Hillman/Rootes Group's attempt at an "executive" car in the early Seventies. A lousy power-to-weight ratio with a puny engine, it handled like a bath tub in the Bay of Biscay. Performance soon improved, however, as its kerb weight rapidly plummeted due to the premature oxidation of most of its fifth-rate bodywork ( I never knew one which passed its first MOT without lots of welding). It was unreliable (natch), and depreciated faster than an igloo in the Sahara. You've never seen a Chrysler 180? Look carefully in your nearest gutter for a few reddish-brown specks . . .that's as close as you'll get!
