Bought this car in 2002 and it cost £600  -  Approx £8k later and this is it now!  Pic 1 shows the front suspension wound right down and narrowed beam, 20mm ground clearance!!!  Images 2 shows rear wheels wound right down too!

Spent 2k on the interior seats from Bernard Newbury and the wheels cost £1k... oh and its now on its 3rd engine (they keep  blowing up on me!!)

My baby, only comes out on sunny days hence its only done 30miles this year!!

Pros — Appearance and simplicity
Cons — MPG sucks - about 20mpg!!!

I guess it was ok in 1969 -- but by the time I bought it in 1982, it'd
seen it's last days.  It stalled at traffic lights and then didn't run at all
after I gave it it's first tune-up thinking I could fix it :-)  

Pros — Black -- and the clever levers for the heater aside of the seats were
handy..
Cons — Oh, the list would be endless...

Was built in 1969, so... not that quick, pretty crap brakes, always braking down, falling apart, BUT still AWESOME! Has a crazy roof that lifts up on hydraulics like a jet fighter!

Pros — Looks. Crazy roof.
Cons — Always breaking doen and falling apart...
