I love this old thing, I am 15 years old, and I needed a fixer upper car, so I found this beauty, I bought it for 650 Us dollars, and put some gas in the tank, well, it all leaked out on the ground, so I dumped some in the carb, and she fired right up and it had been sitting for 3 years, and still held all fluids!! It gets pretty crappy gas mileage, about 14 mpg, My family decided to take it from s.w. Ohio to northern pennsylvania, without so-much as a hiccup, so for 850 dollars, I had myself, what seems to be a great car, and with 187,000 miles, id say it looks pretty good.
If you lived in the uk, the fuel costs would be crippling.
