I bought a wreck for £50 and took the whole thing apart and re-built it. Learnt a lot along the way. However, that was a basic Mini many years ago....the Zed is a tad more sophisticated. Learnt other stuff often through force of circumstances - eg. with the older Westfields you needed to research in depth where all the bits came from and what they did - it was as much an issue of correct part sourcing as knowing what bits went where. After a few years of crawling under Caterham 7s and the like I seemed to have lost the inclination I just ask Abbey to do everything now

Yes...I had an Alfasud 1.5 Ti but not the QV. In terms of enjoyment and "feel" right near the top of the list of cars I have had. Plus almost trouble free for 5 years apart from handbrake.
