I trailered the car home as I had to collect it on my own, the red thing was my temporary numberplate.

Still looks decent, i'm sure you'll enjoy it over the summer's months.

Good buy at £950.

if the headgasket goes it's the perfect excuse to build a proper engine for it. Something along the forced induction line.

With a bit of work you can fit a VTEC engine in there. . .

not much spec wise, cloth seats, leccy windows, thats about it really. Theres a few bits that need sorting, a couple of pieces of interio trim are loose and it could with a good detail which i intend to tak care of in the next few weeks.

Oh and scot sam the engine i was thinking about was the 2 litre tomcat turbo from the older rovers.

I had to work on one of these last week. I thought it was hilariously fun. I could forgive it for having no room at all in the cabin as it seemed to have character. It was quite simple to work on too for a mid engined car.

I prefer the looks of the 'F to my Mk1 MX5. Keep thinking about swapping for a VVC model F.

Hmm.
