No worries mate my cars in Kilometres so thats why I quoted kilometres I'd say its more than 250 maths is not my strong point there a great little car dont know about insurance in the uk but the tax is cheap and you get serious bang for your buck and grin factor

i'm looking for a 97 or 98 model. do they come higher then the 98 model guys. whats the standard bhp on the glanzas. do they have any common problems that i should look out for before buying one. and how long does the engine last in the glanzas (millage wise). thanks for the advise kellygt

they go up 2 99 mate.. big end bearings are the akiles heel in these cars but if they are minded they will last you a long time.. standard your talkin about 135bhp on the ct9 turbos they run on.. when buying one just look out for noises in the engine like this
