Never. It is a car for people who hate cars. It deserves nothing but contempt. Malcolm Cupis

Who the chuff would want to collect one of those? Buy yourself a Morris Minor then you can actually enjoy driving. Andrew Spittlehouse

Look at the old computers becoming increasingly valuable from the Seventies and Eighties. The younger generations will probably see this as a classic in time. Ross Mackenzie

God help you if it goes wrong. Ended up getting rid of ours at a £3000 loss because nobody could fix it. Definitely a landmark car though. Richard Faulkner

An over-engineered gem that has revolutionised transport worldwide, of course it’s a classic! Max Spiller
