So I've just put my 4200 Spyder GT (Manual) back on the road after a period of SORN, and boy oh boy I had forgotten just how nice these things are!
Great engine, pointy steering, decent ride, and in SPORT mode it even handles quite well.
Given how cheap they are, even for a really nice one, it has to be the bargain Italian V8 2 seat convertible of the century!

I was at a show at the weekend, and there was a guy there boasting that his 1300sport Mk2 Escort was worth £25k - I've no idea if that can be true, but if it is, thats easily more than I would get for my Spyder, and my car is spot on! The world has gone mad. (I remember driving my Mk 2 Escort to the scrap yard.....)
