Used to Sao ,
PX'd it earlier in the year as the diff (LSD pah not re-building that) and rear gearbox seals had sprung leaks , the roof ecu went wonky 96' model so it had the heavy lift off top and mohair auto fold away underneath ,
heater was stuck full on despite spending £200 on a second hand control unit , suspect the ECU for climate control under the bonnet , leaking condenser on the AC ..

It needed more surgery than this engineer had room or time for especially as i was contracting at the time , so i bought a 18,000 mile KIA soul , it seemed to exemplify practical decent motoring that was quite comfy if you're happy not buying a badge .
10,000 miles later and it's one of the best cars i've ever had , not quick and a bit road noisy , but comfy , roomy and 45 mpg on a run rather than 20 on 97 octane
no ones going to steal it and no one tries to race you
