Dad brought this new in 92`... was a 45 carb `Spark`... gave it to me in 94`.. I happily drove her 75,000 miles in the following 6 yrs with no problems & fitted a 1200w stereo system.
Then I lent it to my brother while he was looking for his Punto[he was 17 at the time]... about a month later on a wet night he went into the back of a Merk @ around 50 mph on the North Circular Road... this was the result... the impact was so severe the bass box & amp went through the back seat, the roof was creased & the centre of the dash broke away... he & his girlfriend walked away with bruised shins & slight whiplash.... lucky..
