512TR with or without ABS?

[PaulDav]

Looking to buy a 512TR and wondered what people's thoughts are on the variants? Which is the better drive, which is more collectable, with or without ABS?

There's no material difference - and no difference in values based on ABS/non-ABS.
There were 50 non ABS cars imported into the UK, 38 ABS and they're relatively thin on the ground no matter what one you might prefer so it wouldn't be something I would add to my search criteria.

There's actually a button on the dash to turn the ABS off as there was talk from test drivers etc that they believed they were quicker with it off.....

I was happy to have a non-ABS car as it was less old wiring to go wrong.

Nice thought process, ageing wiring seems to be far more annoying than the oily bits.
