    This was my first ever car, bought just after my 18th birthday. I have driven this car about 40,000 miles in three years. I have taken it just about everywhere. It is good for about 180km/h at 7000rpm. I used to drive it 750km in 6˝ hrs to get to my college. I think this car is one of only twelve that came into Australia. The gearbox has just recently died. Fortunately we have moved into a house with a double garage. So it is going to get a ground up restoration. Does anyone know how many Euro Rally’s were built?
