Faults:

Suspension and brakes totally shot.

Oil leak from engine.

Ran uneven, stalled when cold.

Had been used as work van and was generally beaten up, scratches and dings everywhere.

Heater didn't work.

Both rear lights broken.

Hatch didn't close properly.

General Comments:

Was intended for the wrecking yard, but I had never seen a van version of the 305 so I had to have it.

We fixed various worn out items, full service and things broken and even missing.

Partial resprayed.

Used as a daily driver in one of the companies, very fun and nimble to drive.

After some years it needed a new gear box and was sold off.

Faults:

Brake caliper.

Brake amplifier (although it wasn't defective).

Dynamo/generator.

Fan/dynamo belt snaps every 8 years.

Some rust; the car was spray painted in 1996 and in 2014.

General Comments:

Excellent, in fact if there were no shortage of parts and a 200 HP version of the 305, I would buy another one.

The car has been in the family since 1984, and I got the key in 1995.

I'm considering upgrading the engine, since the clutch spins sometimes and the engine could have some more HP.

In the 32 years it has run out of fuel 2 times, and I had to do a rolling start when the dynamo quit. Never been towed or been put on a lorry.

Faults:

Generator failed after 20 years at 110.000km.

Back door did leak a bit in the beginning.

Brake magnifier broke at 100.000km.

Clutch is a bit worn.

That's all.

General Comments:

Best car ever :)

The suspension is fantastic, and the seats are great.

Leaks a bit of water that must be refilled every two months (my fault, forgot to use anti-freeze one Winter).

Easy and cheap to repair.

Have only broken down two times in 24 years; both time it ran out of gas.

Weighs almost the same as my sports car; only 998 KG. My Mazda MX-5 weighs 907 KG.
