oldnpastit bought ours. I have been regretting it. And getting cross at people driving them over the past few days with the roof up- I now no longer have the option to lower my roof so why is the ability to be drop it being wasted on you? 😉
Amazing fun for little money and little power, cheap, easy to look after, comfortable, great community around them which is very helpful and it makes driving places feel like an occasion. When we have the funds for a third car we’ll buy another, possibly a Mk1 if it’s only doing a couple of thousand miles a year. Possibly even a 1.6- power isn’t the point with them.
I think the main issues of timing belt and rust have been highlighted above.
