Hi guys, looking at a possible 405 MI16 (in Australia). Does anyone have any experience or opinions on them. I'm looking at purchasing a weekend toy and this has come available.

looks nice enough for a phase 2

i'm currently restoring a phase 1 mi16.

i have found that trying to source new genuine parts is really difficult, but so far with a little help, i have managed to find most of what i need.

not really much that can go wrong afaik.

chassis is quite rust proof. i'm rebuilding my rear axle for peace of mind, and i want to slightly lower the car.

make sure there is no severe camber on the back wheels

listen for ticking noise when car is running, and any blue smoke from cold
