Yeah big likes for that, though being the 12v version it doesn't quite hit the spot for me.

Love them. And that's a nice one!

One of my mates owned one in white. Loved a a bit of sideways action on a damp roundabout.

Just had an intermitting issue with the electrics that in the end became to unreliable so had to go.

Loved them but sadly never got to drive one.Had the cortina ghia at the time circa 86 but used to stop at garages just to admire the 2.0 CD version with the the 5 spoke grey caps that sat in the alloys which i always liked.Then of course there's the Lotus Carlton a few years later.
