iI had one for about 6 months, bought for £100 with a fucked gearbox, fix for £70, sold for £650

I loved it, went well enough to get me from a to b, ran 30-34 mpg average, handled ok once i dropped it down a little, i'd have another without hesitation. it think they are like anything of the type, buy abuse examples and they will always be a headache

gearboxes are proper shit, though
