Terrible Vehicle Reliability.

hahaha low blows! I'll admit they can have their faults but most cars do. They're not nearly as bad as people say they are and totally worth it when they're on top form!

my dad's got a rotting s1.5 somewhere. started it in gear by mistake. only time it's started on first attempt and it drove straight into a pillar on the driveway. he was going to re-fibreglass the body and smooth everything up because that's what he does, but never got round to it. a shame :(

even before 'modification', impossible to properly open the bonnet unless you jacked it up. a work of genius.

You should get it back on the road! Know what you mean about the bonnets though.
You could always try and make a replica of this...
