Growing up, my next store neighbor (he was a teenager with a sonnet... I was a teenager with a 912... 1st world suffering
)had the same sonnett (other than color) that Jim Richard's pic was.
Both cars had sports pedigree? and no inspiring power to the first degree.
It was a fiberglass car,- (more like a kit car- as stated previously) with no impressive power, no impressive braking, no impressive steering, nor impressive shifting. I don't remember the heat. AC- obvious no-go...
He destroyed the uninspiring 4 speed tranny in short order. I also remember his pop up headlights getting jammed in the up position.
I briefly remember a neighbor running across her lawn to shake her garden rake at us... not because of the car's prowess so much as my friend's stupidity in driving it like an idiot.
I drove it on numerous occasions.
edit- I can see this car appreciating in value more for nostalgia than what it ever really originally was. Unless you want to re-live some childhood memories- (which I have and they weren't all that great) - let it go! lol....
edit- Just look at those rear drum brakes- I think you can get that on a porsche 924 (which I also had)... infact-- the 924 was a much more SOLID car than the sonnett..
Conclusion- MEH.
