I test drove it while on the hunt for a fast road spec'd series 2 Rallye but was blown away by this lil riot.
It's one of only a few Series 1s to have had the Skip Brown Roadspeed conversion,there are receipts in excess of 9k here!
Spec is very impressive and it is by far the most entertaining and special car I have owned to date.
