Right, now everyone has slagged me off for buying this, but I don't care, I've done some research and found the inherent problems, and already fixed them... (immobiliser.. etc)
1994 model, first sold and registered in 1997 due to lack of sales in the UK, so its on the logbook as a 1997

46,000 miles, 12months MOT, 4 new goodyear Eagle tyres, 500 quid.
and soon after I got it, I sold the fiat brava for 500 quid so it really only cost me road tax!!!!
First thing's first... something's gotta be done with those wheels!!!! I'll wait till the tyres go bald, then get a wheel and tyre deal.... already gettin bits together for the stereo, as the stock one is useless... oh yeah, needs a passenger mirror too.. (12 quid from fleabay)
Seeing I've wanted one since I left america 8 years ago, I think my waiting has paid off!!!
