Our Verdict

Only a british car manufacture would produce a car that looks like it has been kicked in the nuts. That said I for sure would love to own one, and early mark 4's are sort of cheap. The prices still appear to be age sensitive so it would suggest that they could drop some more, but who cares, just reveal in the eccentric looks and the blistering performance.
