OUR VERDICT

Prices are quite low for these attractive classics, but it’s likely that their rarity will soon have an effect on values, meaning that now could be a good time to buy one of the Arrow range. Buyers can choose from a wide selection, from simple, practical and durable to comfortable, lively and well-equipped: just don’t buy a rusty car, or one that’s been messed with, or an example whose trim parts are missing or damaged. FOR

Good value, reasonably economical, highly durable and pleasant to drive; an appealing classic option

AGAINST

Base models have a simple charm but won’t suit all. Rust is public enemy number one and bodged cars are common – as are those whose original specs have been lost in the mists of time
