Largely down to the fact it has no servo assistance on the brakes or the steering. Though I have read a fair few reviews that remark on this being far more pure in terms of feel. Unfortunately most of the supercar buyers in the late 80s where weedy investors

That car will go for at least £100k, nice to see the owner has a Aston Martin Vanquish in the background.

I saw one being driven through Stratford many years back. Didn't realise what it was until it went past, as it sounded like a motorbike (and many bikers will confess to congregating in Stratford ).

Excellent road presence though.

Those weedy armed limp wristed rich kids have alot to answer for -for ruining some of the best driver's cars out there, with wishy washy Power steering, over-assisted brakes, and feather light clutch pedals (Porsche 911 being a prime example).

The Brakes are a bit rubbish on them but the gearbox, steering, suspensions are true drivers stuff. Seriously quick car though, even if the enfine sounds a bit rough.
