We have had five of these, admittedly the 1.4 model which I convert to run on LPG and it is a great car. It is simple to maintain, no nasty software to argue with and built like a battleship. If I came across a low mileage model in good nick I would run to £1500 but possibly more if I got carried away.
Usual gremlins are porous fuel pipe to the tank filler (stinks of petrol all the time) and rust over the arches and front and rear valences. No airbags but you’re in a car that will destroy most vehicles on the road.
Don’t bother with a variomatic, they’re too specialist.
Ours has just failed its MOT on a corroded brake pipe. Not bad for 28 years.
