The cockpit is a nice place to be, very comfortable and er... cosy. The heater will burn your knuckles so good for winter too. It's not great on fuel but then no petrol car of that age is. My mrs always loved them too. Here's my favourite of my 3.
I would go for a GT if it were a second car. Insurance on the turbo was quite expensive. Parts were mostly easy to get on eBay but don't expect to find somewhere like jpp.
