"Very reliable fun car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Acclerator cable broke, fuel cap leaked, leaks from gearbox, seats and dash cracked and broke away.
General comments?
The car was in average condition when I bought it, came home fix it up and little , eg. spark plugs, airfilter etc., after that it was thrashed for the next 2 years of it life and not a thing gone wrong with the engine, very very reliable little car and great fun to drive also makes a good car to do up because of the mean looking shape of the body.
