Deluded, a little, maybe...?! :D

Cars like this have always been a bit of a mystery to me.... :?

If you're gonna spend £8k on a Mk1 like that, in A1 condition, its a total waste of time unless you're just gonna keep it in a garage and look at it....? #-o

You'd be scared to even take it down the paper shop on a Sunday just in case it got a stone-chip......!?

Better of buying a £500 "classic" Mk1, and being able to drive it hard, without any inhibitions.....

Much more fun, IMHO..... :thumleft:

Yeah, that's definately a bit hopeful, especially with 6 owners!
You could get an S1 elise for that money and change, and I know which I'd be having.
