Only know that I've always wanted one and would snap it up at that price as a project!

The guide here looks pretty thorough - http://forums.tipec.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5183

50/50 weight distribution, galvanised body, good engine and gearbox, good owners club and racing series, classic looks too :punk:

you won't go far wrong with one of those. Turbo cars are good too.

They're 4 cylinder I think, it was one of the biggest displacement 4 cylinder engines produced, and used balancer shafts to smooth it out.

Later ones went out to 3.0 litre apparently

Agreed, and it'll never be worth less than the £700 asking price.
