Here is mine - use it quite a bit although have a 3k mile limit for insurance so restrictive if I do a long road trip. Found it very good so far.

Mine

1994. Few mods (lowered/uprated suspension, turbo front bumper, turbo twists, basket handle spoiler)

Been threatening to do some much needed work to it - needs some paint (may respray the whole car) , new rear bumper, heat shield (both of which I've bought) but other things just keep getting in the way and I've done less than 1000 miles in the last 2 years :oops:

Pic taken on the lovely North Norfolk Coastline (Blakeney) you can see the basket handle with third brake light

How about 'last of the pre-water-cooled'?

He's right, as soon as I find one the bottom will drop out of the market.
