I had the pleasure of driving this car and keeping it in my garage for a week to make room for the original owner to work on mine. As the engine was still being run in he told me to keep it to 3000rpm. That's a shame, I thought until I realised even 3000rpm was, ahem, over the speed limit. It's a beautifully detailed car. The only chance I've had to drive a 1600 and I really enjoyed the run home and back a week later. Lovely noise with the curved open trumpets.
