I owned this car from c.1977 until c.1984. I paid £3000 for it and sold it for £6000 (I think). During my ownership, I replaced the bonnet and fitted a stainless steel exhaust. It always returned 13 mpg regardless of how, when or where it was driven. I always drove it in a relatively sedate fashion but I do know it would do 80 mph in second gear.

I bought this car with my father, we invested together. Purchased around 1986 for £9,000 and sold around 1990 for £18,000.

Should have hung onto it but the sale helped my buy my first house.

If your the new owner I have some photos I can email you.
