Mainly electrical faults.
But when something was fixed, something else always went.
Fast car, but not up to being thrashed all the time.
Had a new gear box and driveshaft after 4,000 miles.
Good car, just needs TLC to keep it running OK. Hard to start when cold and wet.
Don't know where you got the troublesome starting from.... mine's done 100k and starts first time? As for thrashing it... mine gets a daily caning and still it begs for more...
My GT is a '89 model with 73,000 on the clock, and the car just loves being screwed about. You just can't drive it sensibly because of the feeling of the twin choke, it's amazing.
