"A cheap first car runabout"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The piston rings wore out at 80,000 miles so I had to rebuild the engine with oil control rings and new big ends.

The bodywork became increasingly rusty until it could no longer be welded.

General comments?

The performance was good after the engine rebuild.

Running costs were low due to good fuel economy, being able to use 2 star/unleaded petrol, and cheap insurance.

I have been looking for one of these for years. Does any one know where I can find one.
