Same rules apply as for the MK1,
but the GT bodykit can hide a multitude of sins!
Very good value for money but some insurers group them higher than they should be.
Spares are more plentyful than the MK1 but not as good as for MK2, some rubber and trim is now obselete.
For ease of tuning and economy go for a late injection model, if you do buy a carb model, budget circa  ?150-?200 for a webber.
Hope this helps. ;)

I used to have a MK1 storm and it was an awesome car, also had a MK2 GT so like them.  The scalas are good value for money if you can get a good one.

The scala is basically the same as the GTX which means its a 1781cc fuel injected one. Has rear drum brakes.

It depends on the year of the car for the actual spec of it as the later models had electric windows and central locking as standard.
