Very interesting, thanks for posting.

So Dan prosser has a 7.5 performance.  Quite a lot of top motoring journalists who rate this as one of the very best cars of its type ever made- Steve Sutcliffe and Andrew Frankel are big fans.

The other point that struck me was that neither of them particularly enjoyed driving the mk1. I wonder why not? Definitely not the case with the 205 ( both frankel and Harry metcalfe have done videos on the 205, both said how much re- visiting the car met or exceeded their expectations many years on).

Take home point for me is don’t sell your 7s, you’ll regret it!
