A buddy in HS bought one (this was 1986 or so). It was horribly slow. I was driving my mother's 52hp Chevette his Spitfire seemed slow. I remember him commenting one day while going up i hill in the Chevette, that he noticed I hadn't down shifted to take the hill, but he had to. He eventually had a blown head gasket or cracked head or something that put it out of commission. But it had a lot more character than a lot of other cars at a time.
