1/ worry about being from blackpool , imagine the salt its been subjected to there
2/ 216 are a bit ....meh , not really enough go to match the show .
3/ consider a 220 n.asp, about 140bhp and totally bulletproof engine , 220 turbo is pretty hardcore for a runaround and a bit more stressed especially gearboxes , 218vvc is probably best all round package but very very fragile
4/ overall they are all pretty good cars , look for rust on the sills , check the rear ARB hasnt parted company from its mounting , check it has the bag for the roof panels , check the roof panels dont leak and wind noise isnt excessive , check the leccy windows work as they are a nightmare to put right if the cable is snapped , andy
