Hi,
In my youth whilst posted to Germany I had one of them it was great, always remember a journey from Cornwall to Dover with a mate, whose mum had made
us a couple of pasties and wrapped them in tin foil, by the time we got to Dover they were still hot, we had put them on the heater vents.
Regards
Bob

Ringwalds Character had one in 'Pretty in Pink', They're valuable now which causes many people to site it as a problem with the film
(She was poor) but they were aparently worthless in the mid 80's.
There is a simillar car that VW australia made which looks even better but I forget the name.

Is there a more extreme example of a car that looks fast but isn't?

A Karman Ghia I'm having an organisation just looking at it. To me its the most beautiful car ever designed, next to a Porsche Speedster.
I would happily hack off my right Goolie with a set of my Grannies old dentures to own one.
Unfortunately they were powered with a wheezing 1500 VW crappy engine but put a modern block in and who would want a Ferrari.
Cheers,
Bob

With those wheels and in the company of that photo, there could be a decent engine in the back of that one!
I was offered a mint one when I was 17 (17 years ago!  ) for a couple hundred quid, it needed a new carb and that was it (or something like that!) -
Boy, how do I regret that NO!!!

And they get the rot like Mini's do, a mate 10 years ago spent £8k on a bit of restoration, and it still needs loads more work done on it ....
they are gorgeous but total money pits and you need to spend £££££ to make them go fast....
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.
