When I bought the car it had been sitting behind a garage for two years without being started.
I paid £127 pounds for it via ebay
It required a small piece of petrol pipe, a new headlight (which was supplied by the owner) and a new outer CV gator. I also treated it to a service. Plugs. Oil etc. Even the battery was fine once I charged it.
After I did this work I gave the car a good clean and polish. It came up like new!
I took it for MOT and it flew through!
NOTHING has gone wrong with this car since I've owned it and it starts on the button every time!
So simple to work on... Good old fashioned car.
Excellent on fuel.
No rust anywhere.
Fantastic performance from a 1.3.
Great exhaust sound due to the standard exhaust having only one box at the rear.
It gives amazing performance from its 1294cc engine!
The car handles like a dream with excellent ride quality!
I owned one of these cars new from 1987 to 1994 and everything you say about them is true, it was truly a joy to own and drive with just servicing cost and MOT to pay out. I did 40000 miles from new and did not need new tyres or brake pads during all of that time - fantastic car.
