has anyone had one of these special editions, know the details in terms of engine size, gearbox, other bits and bobs etc?

i didnt find much fruit on my quick saturday afternoon trawl of local scrappies, but one i went past (i'd actually spotted a polo-esque shape in it from the train) has a mk2 Twist breadvan sitting inside, slate grey. looks fairly intact and might be a good parts source. looks like it was actually killed by sill rust!!!

havent a clue whether its 1.0/1.3, 4 or 5 speed, etc. it has a sunroof though, but the drivers door has been left open so the interior might be a bit rotted now.

I'm not sure on the full spec. of the Twist models but I think they were fairly basic (based on the C?) with 1 litre/4 speed mechanicals. Seat trim may have been specific along with the body decals, but whatever I don't think they had any interesting or particularly worthwhile features.

Yeh, basically just a "Buy Me, I'm Crap" car with 'Twist' stickers and seats that were a bit more padded than the norm...(sorry if reading this and you own one!)

well all those C's and Foxes had to go somewhere once all the CLs, Genesiseseses and GTs were bought, didn't they!

my Mom had a Polo Twist, it were a great little car!

I remember sitting in the back in a booster seat, and remember it being much better than the cr*ppy Volvo she had before (which she sold because it refused to go up a hill covered in wet leaves one morning

)

Can't remember much of the spec though Tahrey, sorry. I was about 3.
