I think they look great, love the bolt on arches, bit slow for what they are although there supposed to handle very well

Would imagine they handle ok as standard, Lotus fiddled with them.

I remember this being in the local shopping mall when released and people creaming their pants over it.
everyone ive seen being driven on road, the lad driving it has got that "im the fucking tits man" written all over his chevy chase.

I think they look good. I'm sure the reviews at the time said they handled pretty well actually. They said it was a little underpowered though.

When they first came about thought they looked the dogs danglies, still look kinda cool today really. Supposed to be a bit slow, but as someone said Lotus were involved with the handling. But were'nt Lotus supposed to be involved with Corsa B handling later on in life?
No help to you really, but i would'nt buy one.
