"Mike P" gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

That's not worth £1500 for a start, plus, IME "leaky radiator" is soon
followed by head gasket failure on T16s. Happened to me twice. On top
of
that, it's the "ugly" 900 saloon. Ugh.

Yep, I'll second that "Order a HG kit, you're gonna need it"...

Definitely overpriced, compared to my £500 3dr.

I've been looking for one for ages, not seen one at the price you paid. I
should never have sold my last one :-(

Remember, my slightly oil leaky £300 T16 that only ever failed on
handbrake.

Still exists arround rochdale way and I think he only paid a couple of
hundred for it.

Yes, it looked in decent nick too when I saw pics of it. I know two of the
I've had are still going strong. The ruby copy I had was a K-reg and was in
very good nick. I got rid of it because it was ****ing oil everywhere from
the headgasket , about a litre a week. If the MOT hadn't been up at the same
time, I'd have kept it. As it was, I got what I paid for it..
