- ✓The A-series engine (1.2L) is virtually indestructible; if it runs poorly, it's usually just a dirty carburetor.
- ✓Verify that all original trim is present, as finding replacement dashboards or door cards in the UK is very difficult.

- ✓Simple mechanicals make these excellent cars for DIY owners.
