This is my first car and it's very nippy.

I had one as my first car too. Excellent little car, bought it with 100K on the clock and did 50K without any problems what so ever.

It is a docile car at low speed and revs, quiet and smooth, but after 4000rpm the sound changes and it really does pull as the second carb kicks in. I left boy racers at the lights many a time, scratching their heads wondering what the hell I had under the bonnet.. great fun.
