The absolute sheds I saw whilst looking for my 75 a few years ago... I'm glad that I spent a bit more on an example which has been looked after. I've had problems, sure, but nothing catastrophic. Most problems I've had have been electric, due to water ingress, I've had no real mechanical faults to mention, just general wear and tear.

A car can be incredibly reliable and go on for hundreds of thousands of miles, but if it's been neglected it's gonna have things break, regardless of what it is, and unfortunately lots of the cheaper 75's have just been thrashed.
