Silly big wheels. Silly clear indicators. And 25kg too heavy.

What you need is a nice, light, small-wheeled, orange-lensed, 1.6. A phase 1.5 with cloth trim ideally.

Yeah, I know there's a Porsche, but look at those petrol prices

My mum had a CJ Convertible 205 with a denim interior when they came out in 89. I used to nick that or my Dads Merch on a regular basis. Oh I thought I was the bees knees driving about in that as an 18 year old
