True!

Loads of steering lock, good vis for parking, cheap insurance, not bad performance, and will usually still drive after you've pranged it

Welcome to the forum!

Unless (like my housemate) you drive it into a dry stone all in the Yorkshire hills. He managed to make his 340 undriveable doing that...

My first ever car (a 360 GLT) was written off twice, but still drove fine - looked pretty scary though, which can be useful when driving in London
