Sportka.
this

to this.



which apparently means i'm gay rolleyes
94bhp (down 65 hehe), 120 flb torque 940kgs and gear ratio so short you're in 5th @ 40mph means this cars has a hint of classic mini about it.
handling is sublime, the engine a single ohc, is alittle breathless top end, (compared to the manic k-series).
Fit and finish is classic ford (read into that what you will) but is a pleasant enough environment.
will mainly be used by the lady of the house, but i won't be embarrassed to drive it.
a real cracker smile

As gay as they are for a bloke (and they are), they are tremendous fun and as you've said, almost an omage to the classic Mini. Good buy.
