I became interested in them only four years ago when I was offered an early model for only $3500 and how I wish I had bought it, but I had no where to keep it in Sydney.
I cant remember the year model but it was "the" one that I expect in fifty years will be worth a million and the one I purchased maybe $3500..It boasted one of the most rigid sub frames second only to Porches...I cant remember which year unfortunately but when I do I may hunt one down..now probably $15000
This one I bought is not what I think of when you say sports car...my favourite sports car is the Caterham .. not necessarily the top model either, which has a power to weight ratio better than the Bugatti top model...but a 1500 cc would make me happy...although I cant do manual these days so there is no point thinking of one as there is no way I could have one with auto..just not right.
So the car sat out in the rain all night so I dont know what to expect but my feet are so crook I cant get out to look..I am going to stop my meds for some relief as the pain is a little too much.
