No ABS, has the dccd, roof vent etc, lack of sound proofing, gearing may not suit all but if its a weekend toy then you should just enjoy it for what it is

A bit more comfy though for some reason you dont seem to get many people going for them
Atleast you get the luxuries of rear wiper, abs etc, not sure if they have a front lsd or not though?

Definately one of the best classics to go for. Bit more practical than a type r but with the same goodies and features, and obviously a lot cheaper than a 22b. Lot of fun to drive with a real short box, but blistering acceleration. Just make sure you know what youre looking at. They are a rarer car and a proper head turner.

All the best
Rich
