As 360beast says, a vastly underrated car nowadays. Ignoring the sporting fraternity it is still a nice car to drive: the comfort of a 240GL (I know - we have both), the access for maintenance and classic car insurance. On some, the lack of power steering can be a handful (in more ways than one!).
The only drawback with a 1;7 - some insurers limit youngster insurance cover to 1.4 litre engines.
If viewing to purchase, check known rust areas - sills and on certain colour combinations the upper door trim areas.
