Pretty poor list actually since those are all top-tier cars in their class yet they say that exotics etc are excluded.

The most expensive car to own I have ever had was an Austin 1100.  I paid £300 for it in 1970.

The exhaust fell off the day after I bought it.  Then the fan belt snapped and its cover on the transverse engine was a sod to get off.

After numerous engine, electrical and transmission problems, a new top half was fitted.  The cost of the engine plus bus and rail fares plus a hire car  --  I was 100 miles from home --  came to £160.

When it was written off by the Butcher's Van doing straight into it ---  "there is never anything coming along this road early in the morning" was his excuse,  No witnesses.   Four weeks  off work to recover from injuries cost £120, and a rental car for 6 weeks cost £90  --   all compounded as I was moving house from North Wales to Derbyshire,

I got £170 for the car, which I had just filled up with petrol.

I sued the Butcher and got £240 to cover some losses.  And don't ask how much solicitors cost, even then.
