In fact,IF you could find a decent one [one with an english wiring loom etc] they were a very good car.I had an ex concourse Sprint,excellent little car,drove that a good many miles,all round Europe,didn't disgrace itself around the Ring,provided a lot of fun around Spa [when it was still mainly public road].
I had Dave Ashworth,of Brunswick Motorsport do an engine and decent wiring loom, never a moments problem,even used as daily driver!
