I had two of them, one lhd one rhd.
They go well, bit basic inside, not much head room, very expensive if you want drive it rather than polish it, brakes expensive to repair/replace, bodywork rots badly, rear floor under the rear seat crack around the rear subframe mounts, electric ancillary water pump fails leading to head gasket failure and/or a cracked block, timming chains snap (nneeded a duplex chain) rear diff overheats, bellhousing cracks, many part unique to the fuel injection and ignition now unobtainable.
Bought the lhd car back from Germany, had it flatout on several occasions, it used that much fuel it whould have been cheaper to airfrieight the car, although not as much fun.
