i think it has a lot to do with incompetent techs. if they have little understanding of the car's design and are ham fisted in their approach, as one could be with slack jawed american yokel cars, then certainly, the british car under their care would become a nighmare.
my argument is not that reliability is the reason to drive a british car, but that they are not unreliable as people perceive them to be.

There may be reasons to drive older British roadsters, but reliability is not one of them.
