These are magnificent cars. I have five of them; 3X 2.3, 1X2.5 and one Evo2. The Evo is probably the best road car I have ever owned.
I second one I bought was a car which I tested for Motor Sport some years ago - it looked a bit like yours.
They rust badly due to their lightness. They weigh about the same as a Renault Clio and kick out the thick end of 200 bhp. And, for a rwd car, they handle beautifully, particularly when compared to an M3.
The 2.3s are less German than the later ones and have some of the characteristics of a mad British special, which, mechanically, is exactly what they are. But the Evo is sublime - oversquare to the point of lunacy, a single cam chain, 240 bhp and a drag coefficient of .29!
I'm turning one of the 2.3s into a hill-climb contender. Eventually...
