The K engined ones are nippy little f*ckers, compared to the some of the cars of that era, Ie the ford fiesta and corsa. VVC'd ones are mental if you drive them hard! They are fun cars and have bags of character standard and modded. With them been that under rated they really do cause bit of a shock. But when working properly they are reliable little f*ckers. A series ones are quite hard to get hold of now and cost a small fortune due to how rare they are. Again two lads on the metro owners club done a A series van up to about 200 bhp, cost a fare whack and caused a stir at santa pod. Even shocked a Honda VTech too. Sadly that engine went bang and the shell was sold off, not sure if it even survives now.
