Does look a little tall doesnt it.

Maybe it has a bit of a complex for being small so decided to start wearing platform shoes?

Looks like it could have a 309 rear axle on it. They normally sit higher after the conversion. Probably hasnt got round to lowering it.

My 309 sat that high after I put a group A Bilstein kit on it tho, so it could be that too.

My bet is it handles tho

It is sitting high, but also it looks like it has 40 section tyres on it, whereas it was designed to have 55's on those wheels. That makes a huge difference to the look of the car.
