I had a very well sorted silver 1.7, was a very, very nipply little thing, handled well. loads of fun, if you get called for it, take anyone out for a trip round the twisties and it soon shuts em up lol.

for the bloke there are only 2 varients to go for, either the standard 1.7 or the dogs danglies, rare FRP. FRP's are there for sale, just a case of the right example at the right price.

if you cant get hold of a decent FRP, go for a special edition either:

The Millenium special edition (200 reg) (yellow with gloss black wing mirrors etc) or a 'Thunder' special edition.

dont get a 1.4 or a 1.6
