a mate used to have one of these, a MK1 i think. with the bulge twin headlights.
it was totally mental, but a sod in the summer tho. the cabin was soooooooo hot due to the mid mounted engine, the A/c did not touch it. perhaps they sorted this issue in the MK2.
straight line it was brilliant, twisties not so good. he was always going through tyres as i remember.
but as said it got LOADS of attention. even in the silver colour that was fairly understated.
very nice car and quite rare now-a-days.
