I've driven a couple of XR2s in the past, they are like little pocket rockets! 
Think they are 96bhp or something?

They're awesome cars, plus you'll never loose money on it. Me and my mates bought one for 12 car rallys a few years back, quality cars. They're bad for rust like, but they're nearly 20yr old now so fair play!
