"A reliable, economical, gem"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Two clutches.

One radiator core.

General comments?

I have had a 'Love, Hate' relationship with this car.

I 'Love' the incredible reliability and economy and 'Hate' the fact that no matter how hard it is driven, no matter how I try to blow it up, it still keeps going.

I have had this car since new. I have never been able to bring myself to sell it. I have had other cars during this period, but have never had such a reliable, economical car.

The motor is pretty gutless and most definitely won't win a traffic light show down.

However, for the student or someone that wants fuss free 'A to B' transport, then this car is a gem.

I've just bought one that apparently had its head redone. It's a pocket rocket. Rev out to 5000 or above and this baby boogies. Maybe yours needs some work to bring back the "fun" factor.
