Chris,
What you say makes good sense - I'm about to 'start the search' for a neat Mk3
(again) - but I think I'll wait for the heatwave to end (uh-uhh speak too
soon...)

...only thing with that is the low-gearing ratios at 4000rpm a Mk3 would be at
62-ish mph whereas a 1500 would be around 72mph - but then maybe a bigger diff
would do the trick (like a 1500's 3.63 or even a 3.27 GT6 - maybe a tad OTT :-)
