I would never buy anything just because it's British but if the quality is there and, as Fast Eddie has said, there is absolutely no reason why it should not be, then it's the icing on the cake - it makes your purchase feel special and a pleasure to own.The problems with the 961, as Chris Drew has said, are because of underdevelopment, lack of investment and I would say design issues. Also vibration as a natural characteristic of the type of engine can cause bits to fail and come loose which some might put down to poor construction but which is not. "Amateur screw-ups" are down to management again - poor quality training and inadequate training of workers - but if Japanese and German car manufacturers can have confidence in setting up and building cars in the UK then there can't be much wrong with the British worker.I'm afraid you couldn't possibly end up with a house full of junk in the UK, we just don't make enough! What we do make though can stand head to head with the best quality in the world. I play guitar and have a Fender, American made, guitar. The quality is superb and it plays great but to get the best sounds I plug it into a British, hand made, amplifier - expensive but worth every penny!
