Yeah, I think this is a lot more complex than that.
I remember being at a swap meet and my friend picking up this manual, laughing at the dates on it and saying "no wonder the British Car Industry sank".
All the fault of the TR7, the triumph sports car that sold more than any other model of the TR line =P
It wasnt the fault of any particular car, it was disfunction at british layland that really did it in. There's a good article on the triumph stag v8, and how it was symbolic of the dysfunction in BL at the time, all the infighting between the various divisions and the internal politics.
The most widely sold TR ever made. And that killed Triumph?
Humm. If the union dolts had built a quality car instead going on strike every 12 minutes forcing manufacturing plant changes and numerous other issues, the TR7 might have had a chance.
Probably had nothing to do with the widespread corruption among executives, union bosses, suppliers (remember the gasket contractor who was supplying BMC/Jaguar with "cork" gaskets that were actually sawdust?), and dealers.
Roll most of a nation's automotive industry into one big company and it's bound to fail. Heck, roll it into three companies, and they are all bound to fail on a long enough timeline -- just look at Ford, GM and Chrysler. Has a lot to do about inbreeding of leaders within the industry.
