I would say (obviously depending on condition) that it looks cheap for anything bike engined. However, that said the engine is the early blade lump & as such is likely to be the weak link in the chain. that engine has lower power & lower torque than all the later (& larger capacity) blade engines I believe. I have absolutely no idea how interchangeable the later engines are with that early engine.

The car itself has some nice bits of kit & a decent set of wheels & tyres which is all good for the price, it probably all comes down to how comfortable you would be with that engine? Have you driven a bike engined car? Have you driven an early blade bike engined car (probably much more significant). If you don't like the engine, it's still saleable at around £4 -500, so what would it cost/how difficult would it be to put one of the later & better engines in, the recent CBR1000 is a whole different animal & much better, but also a LOT more expensive - you pays yer money & you makes yer choice!

Just my two pennorth! Good luck either way!
