Cracking little car
Don't bother with TPFT, Fully Comp is generally cheaper these days and covers you for everything.

Nice car ,google peterjames insurance, they will half your quote if you put that car on a classic policy, Ł198 fc on my 350 bhp 3 door . and its not gone up in 5 years .before that i had a mk1 xr2 , i was 18 and tha cost me Ł129 . both policys had unlimited miles and full cover to drive anywhere in europe

Op ive had about 30 mk1's they are the shizzle, so simple,,firm it up and it will pretty much out corner most things of a similiar size, the crossflows are bombproof as well if well cared for.
they are superb 1st cars, and your looks very very clean.
GOOD LUCK ON YA TEST AN ALL FELLA
NOW GET MORE PICS UP PLEASE

I really like that! Keep it as it is and buy an engine stand. Build something on that and when you can afford it, drop it in!
Keep some cash aside for brakes etc too
Really liking that! Nice one.
