mileage isnt always genuine so dont fall for the " its only done blah blah miles" asclocks are changed there is room for messing.
also dont be scared of high mileage, engines are solid.
regular oil changes including transmission and clutch fluids are sign of good maintenance.
also less time its been in uk i find better body condition. first was new to uk and immaculate my second been in uk 5 years and signs of bubbles. its the road salt, rain ect
rattles on start up is common as they have solid lifters
check that it doesnt run too hot or get hot quick
thats all i can think of off top of my head

not that un reliable as std, it when you start playing with the boost, they can reach 275bhp just by tinkering with the boost and a zaust but this is when you start buring out the std clutch and blowing the std Head gasget. these are easily uprated though. the engine can handle loads of abuse. but as Kerry says they are addictive and you just want more power.
Just wish i could get insure on one

Seen that one before on the telly originally.
It looks bloody horrendous - bloke must have appaling taste.
Could have looked so much nicer without all that silver sh*t inside and the bue/purple mismatch poster paint finish on the bodywork.
He's made it look like an old banger.
No wonder it beat the Viper though - it had the added advantages of 4WD and not being driven by a pikey looking short-arse minger.
