Nothing really! It was still running the original tyres and shocks so those had to be changed.
Someone crashed into the side while parked (twice), covered by insurance.
Clackety engine when cold, so hydraulic tappets need replacing (common fault apparently).
Really solid and reliable, especially when compared to my previous X1/9, which was a dream to drive on the rare occasions it wasn't at the menders.
Very practical, handling OK and performance fun after fitting a Weber carb (the original Pierburgs are crap) and an air filter.
Looks still do it for me, though many find them dated.
I agree. I have a 1987 GTX and love it to bits! Unfortunately, I've just found out the tappets are going and could use some advice as to replacing them / what it cost you as I am far from mechanically minded.
Any advice gratefully received!
I had too sell mine : (
Tappets are very easy to do, buy the rockers and pop them in, simple, you don't need a brain for it it that easy.
They are the greatest, and I'm proud to say I own one!!!
