Summary
What does this car say about you?
I'm not practical and I like to have a bit of a laugh.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes if I moved away from living in the wilderness. Tractor drivers tend not to see you and Landrovers force you off the road. Milk tankers are a bit of a worry too!
What are you likely to buy next?
A tractor, a milk tanker or a Land Rover.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£15,000
When did you buy the car?
August 2003
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes I got a good deal, I got the hard top in with the price which was already good but I haggled as well - you have to ask!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always wanted a two seater little red sports car and got to an age when I could afford one!
What was the dealer like?
Very helpful considering I was paying by three different methods and had only test driven one model before deciding to buy.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a whizz, great fun even long distance, though you do get a numb bum especially if you are tall. Cornwall to Yorkshire, lots of smiles! Very responsive, where you point it, it goes, simple.
What's it like to park?
A doddle. If you can't see because of the blind spots, use the mirrors - always useful!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not a thing
What's most practical about your car?
I didn't buy it for practicality and anyone who says they aren't practical really doesn't know much about sports cars!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The rag top
