Loads of positive comments, an amazing analogue machine and yet (a the time of typing this) only a 6.3 rating for the article. I will never understand PH...

Superb, and a genuinely engaging review by Dan Posser!

Would love to buy one, however at £375k I could not afford it.

Having said this, there are other cars of this vintage which are close in engagement if not power to weight and speed:
Alfa Romeo 1750/2000 GTV (105 series)
Lancia Fulvias
Triumphs
Porsche 911 2.0
Original Mini

And you are looking at spending a significantly less for these (from £40k - £80k). Still alot of of money, but more attainable.

Make an electric one of these and record that noise, I know it would be "fake" but you wouldn't have to worry about pedestrians not hearing you!

That sound should be available on the NHS. Bliss.

I'll take one of these over any modern you care to name any day of the week.

Period.

As others have said, get a Caterham. £15k of Seven will give you similar thrills.
Think there is an assumption that 'basic' and RWD means they would be similar. They are not in the slightest, and the driving experience very different.

It would be a shame not to race one of these, and I imagine most built would be to race in the various wonderful historic races across Europe.

Yep, and that’s also why sporty Ford Escorts fetch big money
