Steady on, that's a subjective opinion :lol:
i enjoyed my 85, but as it lived outside the 89 makes more sense, and certainly takes nothing from my enjoyment.
probably helped that i went from 177hp to 255hp.
i have no regrets changing :)

Same here. I was only intending to keep it a few months but top down motoring is way too much fun!

My first car was a '68 Spitfire. Have had soft tops all my life; roof down is the best way to drive.
