"Old banger"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Chassis needed welding back together, but I suppose the car is pretty old...

Amazing ability to rust.

Door handle fell off.

General comments?

Not bad for a first banger I suppose, fairly easy to drive.

Terrible on the motorway, it shakes when you get to 70, and feels like it's going to fall apart.

It was nice to have 5 doors on such a small old car and I can fit a drumkit in the back fairly easily!

If you bought this car second hand, you would have to expect some flaws in it. I did when I bought a 1988 1.0L in 1995, however I still own it 7 years later, and it is very reliable I can tell you! It's only broken down once and passed all of its MOT tests! Now that's a car you should have!
