I would stay well clear IMO we had one and had nothing but problems and a mate had one that had nothing but problems too 
the electrics are also shit on them too 
Try find one with a tubby engine in them or something, i was looking at buying a rsi the other day with a volvo 1.7 engine there meant to be really nippy to

No, you can pick up a Mint Williams 2 or 3 for that A mint 1 will be 4k+ at least. They are quick, but as said unreliable.

I was thinking of getting on the band wagon with my mate and getting a 16 valver but since his has been unrealiable, i'm thinking otherwise. Bloody quick cars though. The problem is, will they be as unrealiable my Corsa has been, 2 head gaskets, and exhaust system and suspension all in a year.
