yeah I love em! must be pretty economical and reliable, they are hardly exotic! mege cool looking, and just a bit more interest value than the opel equivalent I reckon. I'd love one! As nick B says it would be rude to have one and put up with the 4-speed box and old carb-fed cam-in-head clunker engine though.
