Driving
Old school rear wheel drive handling, loads of torque. Great motorway cruiser or B road racer.
Performance
0-60 in about 8s is good by todays standards. Gearing and torque make overtaking easy.

Reliability
No problems at all, just keep putting fresh oil in.

One of the best looking cars of all time.
Comfort
Used to drive 500 miles in one day with no aches or pains. Plenty of room for 6 footer, probably the best driving position of any car I have driven.
