I think they're fantastic little cars. Quirky build quality to say the least though. Three of my mates, who coincidently were all brothers all had a VTR at the same time. One of them tended to go through rear axles like nothing else (had 3 in 2 years of owning it!).

They've all since moved on to other motors but I do miss them. Think I'm gonna have to get one and find out the hard way what they're like to live with

One thing I will say is check it's got all of its arch liners. Starting to come across a few now where the strut tops are rotting due to water and mud collecting in the tops of the arches.
