I had one for 18 months and all I can add is - Don't get one without power steering!! Loved the car, but wish I'd have chosen more wisely and got one of the later non-chrome ones. It also turned out to be a proper money pit too.
I sold it to a guy who brought a whippet named Billy along on the test drive. After the drive he got out and said "I like it, Billy likes it, we'll take it!"
