Got the MD title yesterday so good to go.

The windshield hasn't shown up yet, so assume you will need to source one.

So now basically the choice is $1400 (with either set of RS rims) or $1600 with both.

Either way you get the 12" rims/tires, and get to go through my stuff for factory brake carb and 1980 brown interior bits.

I'll likely list on Ebay if the car isn't soon spoken for. Lots and lots of interest, but nobody has yet pulled the trigger....

Thanks! Bill

Oh my!!!! How did I miss this? A sweet little rare hatchback within driving distance, and it's a Ford!

How would this do on a daily commute on secondary roads (65mph average) and what economy should be expected? This could replace the miata AND be a challenge competitor, assuming there wasn't a blasphemous motor swap available.

I've been driving mine daily for about 2 weeks now. IMHO 65-70mph is about a max comfortable cruising speed (the sweet spot on mine is about 60mph, but I've got smaller tires). It will do more than that and hold it, but it is straining it a little. A lot depends on how hilly the area is too. Mine has been averaging aright at 30mpg, but i think I've got some tuning to do. Otherwise, it's a fun, comfortable little car...someone go ahead and buy it!

Any interest in trades? Sweet car!

Thanks for the interest. It sold via the same offer I made on Mini Mania... but what's really interesting is that it sould to Seattle. One would think that such a car could be found out west for less than the cost of shipping alone, but the buyer disagreed even when I pointed that out to him...

So enough selling for a while... time to get some projects completed... unless somebody wanted a shot a a high dollar Bentley MK VI with a Mayfair sports replica body on it before I get started in earnest... I'll likely post in the classifieds to gauge interest.
