Car is telling me next service in 12 days so have had my 454 1.5 for a year.
Great car .
No rust.
ATM box still makes me laugh, got to be running on Windows vista.
Best extras sun roof. Heated seats. Work early so windows and sunroof open seats on.use it more than ac.
Problems. Still got hesitation both moving off and slowing down. Not bad but not helping ATM
Great fun to drive and goes quick.
Have multiple function steering wheel which is one of the nicest to hold.
Would like paddle shifters.
Put new clutch in so need to keep 2 more years.
Next car may be Honda CRV z sounds like it will match this car for fun.
Car really want Marcos 1969 woody .had one but with ford V6 want straight 6 .
But would make do with a smart roadster.

You can get 200bhp out of that engine withoutchanging the bottom end.Just headwork, cam,and triple Webers if you can find the manifold,although these days someone could probably spin you three double inlets.
