yes @Lee01 the very same! I went down to collect on Saturday.

Hello all I've bought a second-hand Favorit from a friend, maybe it is already known on here: it's a 1995 Favorit with a VW 1.6 fuel-injected engine from a Polo GTI. It is great fun! But needs some work. My history with Favorits started in 1998 when I owned a 1989 Favorit (standard). I loved that car, even with its leaking roof. Recently I was very tempted by an ex-works Favorit rally car that was in Scotland and I did get as far as arranging a transporter to bring it to me in Warwickshire, however life got in the way and I never did buy it. Then this car came up and I thought it's probably my last chance to have a go in a souped-up Favorit, so I bought it (from Yoss, who I presume is on here). Drives really well, the full complement of squeaks and rattles are present. My first job is to try and balance the wheels which might be a bit out of balance, as I'm getting a vibration above about 65mph. Then I'll try and fettle the exhaust with some Felicia parts and DIY sections to make a half-decent exhaust system suitable for our MoT. In between I'll try and pimp the audio a little although that might be a bit pointless seeing as it's so noisy inside, and the lack of A/C means I'm generally driving around with the windows open. Also I need to find a fix for the broken interior fan rheostat - I'm assuming I can solder some resistors onto the existing unit, as I can't find replacement parts.
