Re: Daily Driver or not? - Yes
I have had mine for about 2 months now and have put 1.5k miles on it - no doubt its a great daily drive!
We have 2 cars in the house, Citroen bus thing that my wife drives and the B - my car! At the weekend the kids argue over who gets a ride to the shops in the B - if they have a birthday party they always want to go in the B........
In terms of living with it on a daily basis no problems at all - it is a little quirky, you have to open the drivers door to get into the boot but that just gives you an excuse to use the extremely cool door handles, also getting tickets from car park barriers can be a challenge (being LHD) and overtaking stationary buses etc can be erm, fun?
Overall I would say GO FOR IT! Make sure you get one with full service, make sure the cam belt and variator have been changed, check the jacking points (on my hunt I noticed a lot of them rust around the jacking points on the floor), check the exhaust if it does not have a DTR s/s exhaust as they crack in the middle, try to get leather (best for cleaning bird poo when the roof is down) and try to find one with a mohair roof, they are out there but you need to be patient to find a good one at a good price.
I spent about 2 months looking for mine but eventually paid 2.9k for a '99 with FSH, years MOT in very clean condition!
Happy hunting
