Driving
Pretty good considering size, weight and neolithic suspension. Can be hustled along twisty bits, no prob.
Performance
Acceptable for this type of vehicle. After my last - a TVR - what could I expect!

Living with it
Reliability
Backend went totally soggy, onto the bump stops. Low tech cart springs so local garage replaced for peanuts.
Image
No beauty queen but does have style. Far better than the new Tonka-toy ones.
Comfort
High driving pos helps with euro driving. Front seats v. comfortable with lots of adjust. A/C not up to Med temps.
