A car has to be a special breed of cat to make the cut these days, as it appears every second idiot has made some kind of moronic modification to either car or licence plate. So here is special from Brad C. How many vents does this mother need? Is that Alannah McTiernan driving this Magna? The roof vent looks poorly glued on. Apparently the sides are even worse. And Bento found the ultimate TWOP wagon. All Dubstep and ALL Gemini. TWOP fans are the most Dubstepping Gemini people in the world, and I love youse for it.

Thanks for the Morris hyperlink…typical British Leyland of that era: some truly advanced ideas we now take for granted, yet completely marred by lamentable assembly quality.
When the Japanese and German cars began to be renowned for their sturdiness during the 1970s, the writing was on the wall for British automotive manufacturers. Once they began to incorporate the modern technologies often pioneered in these BMC vehicles—such as FWD in the Mini, tall-and-wide and flat-floored body in the Morris 1100, aluminium bodies of Range Rovers and the very high level of safety features in the Jaguar Series 1 XJ6—by the time the 80s arrived, it was game over.
A lot of fundamental problems that were in existence in the UK at that time (such as the winding down of industry and subsequent nationalisation, decolonisation removing traditional export markets, the “brain drain”, the energy crises, and a hostile industrial relations atmosphere, i.e. strikes) contributed to the woeful build quality that plagued most British cars, especially the British Leyland-associated makers. Even the prestigious marques under that umbrella, such as Jaguar, Rover and Triumph, all suffered too.

A late entry, but I must state that that indigo colour, known as Ultra Blue in GMH-speak, looks rather splendid on what appears to be a 1978-1980 TD Gemini, with the number plate located on the rear deck, as the first two models were the 1975 TX and the emission-controlled TC of 1976 had it below the bumper. I’ve always liked that colour, recalling it from when I was a young boy at at time when Geminis and Toranas (on which this colour was used; Kingswoods/Statesmans didn’t have it) were still plentiful on Perth’s roads and carparks.
This however was a 1976-77 colour, discontinued when the TD Gemini and UC Toranas were released in 1978, so perhaps this Gem has either had a colour change, or has had the old rear deck appliques removed and relocated higher up. Popular as they were amongst young folks back in the 80s and early 90s for hotting up (they responded well to tuning and suspension tweaks to an already competent package),
I somewhat prefer original, unmolested examples. They and the Ford Escorts were the best combination of economy, easy serviceability and fun dynamics for their day, as well as having neat and restrained European designs.
Dub Step? Oh, I forgot to notice…

How wrong you are . The 1975 Holden Gemini was the Wheels Magazine Australian Car of the year and pulled Holden out of the red with huge sales success , Without the Gemini , Holden would have gone the way of Nissan and more recently Mitsubishis manufacturing concerns .. Holden Geminis were the last of the rear wheel drive 4 cylinder Holdens , all car makers went the cheaper option of frontwheel drive configuration , and thus the mundane world of small cars was created .. Everybody (except Rolly) knows a Gemini can be made to out handle and accelerate most cars on the road .. Infact a bloke over east owns the Fastest Gemini In the world (yes they were sold in evrery country) running the 4oom in 8.74sec at 243kph , He does this with a Modified 1.8L Isuzu Gemini motor and standard typ Gemini Differential ..
Try that with your Marina or gogomobile , no comparison Rolly ..

It’s not the crap that the factories produced.
Try equating the Ford Escort RS series ex-factory, to the highly strengthened and hotted up race/rally cars that won all the acclaim. Chalk and cheese.
Wheels Magazine has always written what their advertisers wanted and were rarely taken seriously by anyone with any practical knowledge.
Incidentally I was service crew to the WA amateur rally champion in the mid/late ’70s, which he achieved in a Datsun 1600. (Now there is a car that really handled well.)
When he went the way of other marques, his success rate dropped significantly.
