it's still a 650cc engine.

Get yourself a nice MR2 Mk1, bulletproof engine, great chassis, awesome steering and you can get people to actually sit in it comfortably.

You mean the 657cc turbo engine that you can tune to 120bhp and have a car smaller than a roller skate that accelerates from 0-60mph in a little over 5 secs. Is effectively an import vehicle albeit one imported by the manufacturers but still has all the problems with parts prices and supplies. But you want a 17-year old to be insured on it for a pittance because it has a tiny engine? I don't think that is going to happen.........

they imported 1100, and from the same turbo you can get 140bhp.

I was looking at a couple at hairywood.
