"A real supercar with realistic running costs"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Windscreen wiper switch.

Alternator replaced.

Engine temperature sensor (for cold start)

Electrical earthing problems.

Turbo hoses replaced.

Clutch on its way out...

General comments?

Fantastic performance and very refined drive. Wonderful handling although requires respect in the wet.

Exotic, rare and benefits from specialist attention - in my case by PJ Autos. The GTA definitely prefers regular use rather than once a month!

Problems in sourcing original size rear tyres have forced me to join many others in replacing the factory alloy wheels with bigger ones for which tyres can be easily obtained.

I went for Azev Type 'E' wheels:

7.5x16" front

10x17" rear.

New rear tyres can be sourced from Michelin, but they are rather costly; £220 each. I think two suppliers in the UK can get them, one near london and and one in south yorks. The club webiste might be able to help.
