the car has done 76k it drives as it should with no bangs or untoward noises it has no accident history ,a few shnitzer mods fitted from new when supplied by snows in portmouth,so its a rare uk car.
its been in the village wher i live through a couple of owners for about 6 yrs ,the first the local garage owner,who i used to pest to sell it but never would.
He ended up selling it to a local eccentric bloke for 10k and he promptly stuck in in a building with all his other cars
last december the local garage man knocked on my door telling me that the eccentric bloke needed to raise money due to getting divorced and that the car was for sale ,so after taking advantage of the situation i ended up with it
it went straight thru a test and the only bit of bodywork was the dreaded scuttle panel,which has now been done correctly removing screen ect
so im really chuffed,the profit can wait for the moment as im enjoying the car
the car has never been painted exept for me doing the scuttle panel ,nopaint ever evel all factor decals still remain
cheers all

i had never driven one befor buying this car
its an involving drive as the gear ratios seem a little short so you are using the box a lot plus there isnt a lot of low down grunt so to make decent progress you need to wring its neck,but above 5000 rpm it comes alive all the way and beyond the redline
as for the handling it turns in pin sharp but its a little tail happy ,but thats fun!!and its very stable at high speeds
gearbox takes some getting used to and can be a little stiff when cold but soons loosens up but is pretty positive in its operation
if the bloke"nervy" is local he is welcome to have a go
