Guest MK1gaz Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Approx 1100 made , most where peasant spec ( no carpets etc ) and went into rallying were they hit trees etc and died !!!!!!!! A small amount were used as road cars and these are normally the "genuine" ones and not just old log books on built up mexicos !!!!!
