Who has got a 160. Is it fun?
Discussion
I really like the look and idea of the 160, but I own a Roadsport 125 and there is no way I would swap.
If you like low grip, it is easy enough to buy hard tyres for the 125, and for overtaking on the road the extra 50% power and torque come in very handy
Add in the fact that the sigma is normally aspirated, and by all accounts the gearbox is better and it becomes difficult to see who would buy a 160 unless they have to own a new car.
I'm very glad I got mine a few years back when it was possible to build a 125 for less than 20k including options.

Basically I want to build one but don't have us get for anything else. Buying a 2nd hand road sport and stripping it down to bare essentials is one option but I'm not sure how practical that is Buying a secondhand academy car, stripping it and rebuilding it as you want it would be a good project.
A fairly new one shouldn't have any rust and you can check it all works well on the test drive. No IVA or parts shortages and you could get it resprayed while stripped to make it as you want it.
