Always fancied one of these - Interior is a bit "marmite"

Seen that one, I quite like it, not a bad looker and has that nice V8 rumble.

I sold one to get my ZS :)

V8 sounds awesome with a straight through although the neighbours didnt care for it much!!

Nearly every time I drove it though it broke down, and I needed something more reliable. Having said that this is a VDP with carbs whereas mine was an Vitesse with EFI so it will probably be easier to diagnose any running issues.

Another thing is that the cabin is ENORMOUS! Feels like you have a huge car from the inside.

I would love one again if I get the chance. :(
