Acquired February 2000 - Ebay - I drove it into the garage, to check it over and it stayed there for 7+ years, getting renovated (on & off). .....but it's back!!!
September 2008 was the inaugural for the car. After some teething pains with a bad distributor, the car currently runs very nicely and everything works. 2400RPM @ 60MPH, never above 175 on the temp, 50-60# oil pressure cold and at speed, warm. First calculation gave a yield of around 19 MPG.
