🧭 Driving Impressions:
This roadster starts easily, drives smoothly, and delivers the lively experience British sports cars are known for. Responsive steering, confident braking, and smooth shifts with the added flexibility of overdrive make it a joy on the road.

However, we did note the following items inoperable or needing attention:

Horn

Tachometer

Heater blower

Radio

Vacuum leak noted

None of these significantly impact the drive, but they’re worth factoring into your plans.
