One of my parents neighbours had one of these when they were new and I've just seen this one for sale:

I still want one as much as I did at 6 years old when I used to look out for it sat on the driveway. House purchase means £2,200 needs to go elsewhere at the moment. So, what was the first car you remember lusting after?

Do these have a LSD? I can imagine these being quite fun.

Years ago my mate bought an old XR4x4 and we had great fun thrashing that around a field.

Not as standard.

It is not very difficult to swap the rear end off an XR4x4 onto one though and get a LSD with rear discs as well though

I thought that especially considering how original it looks. I'd have to restore it back to original OEM back box and suspension.
