Faults:

Complete restoration to original specs. All components rebuilt or replaced with quality new parts. No serious problem since. Still leaks fluids of all kinds though.

General Comments:

This is a very sweet little sport car of a past era, when cars were light weight and simple. Makes people smile.

It's very fun to drive, especially on curvy roads with good pavement. It handles like a go-kart. The handling actually improves the harder you drive it. Little power makes momentum preservation the driving style of choice. Great predictable over-steer makes you feel like Fangio.

Uphill performance limited by the 43bhp engine.

Engine is okay for its size. Original smooth case transmission is not great; slow gearshift required, noisy in 1st, and can't keep oil inside. Upgrades are available, but I want to keep my car original.

Comfort is not part of the game. Only a soap box can be more basic. Hard to get in. Upright seat not great for the back.

4 drum brakes and no safety feature whatsoever, so you've got to drive this very conservatively in the traffic.

Faults:

Transmission is weak and have to replaced often.

General Comments:

Aftermarket very strong lots of parts for this car, and they are not very expensive to rebuild.
