"Non-turbo"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

-Horns don't work properly.

-Rattly rear suspension.

-Rattly timing gear/valve train.

-Electric mirrors are somewhat unreliable.

General comments?

-Runs very rich, and is very thirsty.

-Red paint requires constant attention to prevent it fading/oxidizing.

-Exhaust system has been modified on this car, and aftermarket air filter element fitted.
