General Comments:
Wonderful small car. Bought it in 1981 from a scrapyard, and made some small repairs to get it roadworthy. I still own it and it drives yet, but engine gets a bit tired.
Leaks from several points, probably due to long standing intervals.
Nice to drive on B-roads, but for motorways it's simply too asthmatic.
Absolutely reliable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
