I'm In Perthshire. Bought mine last September so coming up to a year's ownership. Absolutely love it and often doing loops around Dunkeld, Amulree, Creiff and Perth.

 

It's a silver NA and since I've owned it I've added a removable steering wheel, harness bar and harness, ABS "off" switch, Spitfire Tie Rods, Track dynamics wheels with Avon's and looking forward to giving her some TLC over the winter as well as a bit more power.  Don't want to supercharge or turbo her, so looking to get around 180bhp/190bhp as an NA. Think that will be a real sweet handling car and I'm after relaibility and the ability to drive on the button all day.

 

48ltr tank, new petrol pump, lightened flywheel hopefully all to be fitted to this winter.

You've spend about as much as a DIY supercharger trying to get 180/190 out of the 2.2 engine.. Swap in a 4.17 ratio gearbox when you're changing your flywheel.
