TBH - You can work out most everything from the pictures, other than how the motor car drives. I tell you honestly, every drive feels like an occasion or an event. Whilst she only has a 1. 6 litre engine, she weighs approximately 800kg. She is not blisteringly quick and you wouldn’t want that! The ‘sensation speed’ is enough. Popping to the local shops
is trouble free. Bursting through a tunnel in 3rd and 4th is a ‘riot’!! Dropping down gears is effective and fun. Cruising down the motorway in 5th or 6th is blissful and effortless. What I will say is this. Despite the car being an easy drive (because everything works as it should), unlike modern cars and modern sports cars, you will 100% feel like you’ve had a ‘proper’ driving experience. Somewhere (personally) between slightly exhausted and totally satisfied.
Literally every mechanical part on the car has been either replaced or upgraded at considerable expense, aside from the radiator which causes no concern and the 1. 6 Litre Ford Pinto Engine, which is easily tuneable and in excellent order!
I’m happy to take legitimate buyers for a test drive. When I say legitimate, I’d have to see money or be very convinced you are not wasting my time. Sorry about that in advance.
Please look at the pictures and enjoy!
Any questions, happy to answer. Tell buyers why they’re going to love it?? Just look at her!!!!!!
